What You Feel In My Heart

When you talk of love for me I feel something different Listen to me when I say I’m feeling more than satisfaction Sometimes you say you love me just at the right time This feels like a fleeing moment I want to bottle forever I lose my mind when you say you love me

What you feel in my heart baby is more than words can describe Just let me in for a moment longer instead of my turning away I’m in your heart today and tomorrow what you feel in my heart is something else Let me live in such a moment than just a flash of hope I’m all but a mess, a heartbreak away never to recover

When you walk away I wish you goodbye forever Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa What you feel in my heart is more than words can describe To where I once was filled with love Never again to see those days Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa

The blues of my heart and soul sing to me on and on It’s my heart you’ve broken over and over again All this love come and gone into a hollow shell of wonder What could have been of all those dreams

Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa What you feel in my heart lives no more than just a memory I rushed around my soul to capture every moment The glory of our love ripped my soul apart Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa What you feel in my heart baby you cruelly took away

There was no satisfaction in the love letter you left behind There’s no room left in the space you left behind What you feel in my heart is all but a memory Don’t forget what’s been said and done, it’s your heart as well Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa I look away no more baby from what we had

What you feel in my heart was an open door Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa
