Heartbeat Slow

Every time you hold me close I hear your heartbeat slow Like a song only we know Playing soft beneath my soul When your fingers touch my skin All the world just fades away And even silence says the words Your lips don’t have to say Sometimes we’re miles apart But I still feel you near In your heart I can still hear a beat For every time you kiss me It pulls me back so sweet And when we’re apart I know how much you miss me Across the dark Your love still finds me easy No matter where you are I feel your love for me Deep inside your heart Late at night I close my eyes And drift into your arms Like moonlight through the windowpane You calm all my alarms Every memory lingers on Like perfume in the air And every lonely mile between Still leaves your presence here No distance can erase What forever leaves behind In your heart I can still hear a beat Every whispered “I love you” Still echoes back to me And when we’re apart I know your soul still needs me Like the stars need the dark To shine the way they’re meant to be No matter where life leads I feel your love for me Deep inside your heart In your heart… I still hear the beat… Of your love for me…
