All eyes were staring you floated through the room

Aarmed with your razor smile cutting to the bone

My voice fell useless you flashed a quick "Hello"

Feeling the fool, could you tell it showed?

But that was "sometime ago"

A memory vague and fading slow, of somewhere I'd been



HAND ON HEART

A promise, a word, and a voice

HAND ON HEART

A rhythm of hope and choice will keep us together



I don't know if I can reach that high

It's a long way to fall

Hauntingly holding my fate with a gaze

Like a child mesmerized by the candle's flame

Oh what lies behind those eyes

I could only guess

That certain way you stood apart frome rest

Now where is "sotime ago?"

Whene everything moved in slow-mo-tion

Caught by my watering eye



HAND ON HEART

A Promise, a word and a voice

HAND ON HEART

Promising I'll never go

HAND ON HEART

For reasons you'll never know, together through thick and thin,

Lose or win, I'll be there for you



Strange how the mind changes time and time again

Thins once important now pale in comparison



HAND ON HEART

A promise, a word, and a voice

HAND ON HEART

A rhythm of hope, and a vision of choice

HAND ON HEART

Promising I'll never go

HAND ON HEART for reasons you'll never know

I promise girl, hand on heart
