I'Ve Lost My Heart
The night is long, the minutes creep
I can’t remember, is there something they call sleep
The curtain’s drawn, there is no sound
Save for my heart
I count the beats, the rhythm flows
There is one thing, one thing only that it knows
Without your love, I don’t exist
You are my heart
Empty arms are not meant to be
Empty eyes are not able to see
Empty beds are for no one who reaches for love
Without you, I just cannot be me
Empty chairs sit alone in the room
Empty tables serve nothing but gloom
Empty bottles of wine are my fair weather friends
Even flowers can no longer bloom
I hear your voice, could this be true
Do I hear footsteps, is this vision really you
Is this a dream, yes, it must be
I’ve lost my heart
