The Reason My Heart Beats...
She asked me...
"Do you love me?
Honestly and true
In my time of need...
Can I depend on you?"
"In my darkest hour
When I'm in the deepest despair...
Can I count on you
To still be there?"
"When the vices of life
Attempt to tear me down
Can I rely on you?
Will you still be around?"
I could tell she wanted more than just a simple answer
I could see it in her eyes
But it was certain no matter what I said...
The answer would make her cry
I pull her closer to me
And I try my very best
I look at her and tell her...
"Put your ear to my chest"
"Listen closely to the rhythm
Listen carefully to every beat
Listen and you will hear...
A melody so sweet"
"It is the sound of my heart
That feeds the blood through my veins
And if you listen close enough
You can hear it calling your name"
"I promise that I will always be here
And this melody will always be this sweet
because you are the very reason...
My heart continues to beat"
"Do you love me?
Honestly and true
In my time of need...
Can I depend on you?"
"In my darkest hour
When I'm in the deepest despair...
Can I count on you
To still be there?"
"When the vices of life
Attempt to tear me down
Can I rely on you?
Will you still be around?"
I could tell she wanted more than just a simple answer
I could see it in her eyes
But it was certain no matter what I said...
The answer would make her cry
I pull her closer to me
And I try my very best
I look at her and tell her...
"Put your ear to my chest"
"Listen closely to the rhythm
Listen carefully to every beat
Listen and you will hear...
A melody so sweet"
"It is the sound of my heart
That feeds the blood through my veins
And if you listen close enough
You can hear it calling your name"
"I promise that I will always be here
And this melody will always be this sweet
because you are the very reason...
My heart continues to beat"
