Hand On Heart

All eyes were staring you floated through the room
Armed 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 from the rest

Now where is sometime ago?
When everything moved in slo-motion
Caught by my watering eye

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

Together through thick and thin lose or win, I'll be there for you
Strange how the mind changes time and time again
Things once important, now pale in comparison
