Johnny Van Zant - Take Every Beat of My Heart lyrics

rate me

(Robert White Johnson - Taylor Rhodes)

Like rubbing sticks together heats up the stone

You unveil emotions like strikin' gold

We could believe it's just a short road

Or we could take it just as far as it goes.

Take me beyond the border of heaven

Where we can see no end in sight

Let the truth remove the distance

So we can feel it happen here tonight.

Don't let me stand a chance to recover

I wanna find out what real love is like

Take me on, baby, I'm waitin' right from the start

Take every beat of my heart.

You put my dreams in motion when you walk in the room

You make it so hard to breathe the closer I get to you

Well, it's all over but to say it's so

From all directions I'm ready to go.

Take me beyond the border of Heaven

Where we can see no end in sight

Let the truth remove the distance

So we can feel it happen here tonight.

Don't let me stand a chance to recover

I wanna find out what real love is like

Take me on, I know I can take it

Finish me off, baby I'm waitin' right from the start

Take every beat of my heart.

(Well) I won't take no for an answer

(Cause) you can feel it when it's right

Oh, tonight we're goin' the distance

Oh, right through the heart

Right from the start.

You took me beyond the border of Heaven

Where we can see no end in sight

Let the truth remove the distance

So we can feel it happen here tonight.

Don't let me stand a chance to recover

I wanna find out what real love is like

Take me on I know I can take it

Finish me off, ('cause) Baby, I'm waitin' right from the start

Yeah, like a thief in the dark.

Take every beat of my heart.

Take every beat of my heart...
