Lyrics: You’re In My Heart
With every look, with every touch
With every kiss, you’re in my heart
With every move, with every prayer
With every beat, you’re in my heart.
Like a drum, my heart beats like a drum
As my mind begins to run…
Back to you
Every movie that i see
The face upon the screen
It’s you…
With every look, with every touch
With every kiss, you’re in my heart
With every move, with every prayer
With every beat, you’re in my heart
In my room, your parfume fills the are
The shirt you used to wear
It’s still there
In a room with so called friends
I here your voice again
I’ts you…
With every look, with every touch
With every kiss, you’re in my heart
With every move, with every prayer
With every beat, you’re in my heart.
And in my heart, there’s a photograph of you
For all the world to see
And in my heart there’s a picture of you
Walking away, from me…
With every look, with every touch
With every kiss, you’re in my heart
With every move, with every prayer
With every beat, you’re in my heart.
With every look, with every touch
With every kiss, you’re in my heart
With every move, with every prayer
With every beat, you’re in my heart.
