This Heart

See your face in my dreams
Lost to me forever
In a place far from here
Somewhere close to heaven
On a sacred star
One bridge too far
Where the river rolls down to the sea
On a restless wind - I call out to you

This heart - this heart will beat
In another place and time
This dream - this dream will hold me each day
And at night I pray
This soul will sing once more
When you and I stand on that distant shore
And feel the love familiar in this heart

There's a wind in the trees
Whispers on the water
And the sound of the sea
Echoes with our laughter
And the clouds rush by
In a neon sky
I thought I felt the touch of your skin
But the tide rolls in - I call out to you

This heart - this heart will beat
In another place and time
This dream - this dream will hold me each day
And at night I pray
This soul will sing once more
When you and I stand on that distant shore
And feel the love familiar in this heart

Let the spirit of my dreams
Carry me over the sea
To this precious love of mine
And lay me down - come hell or waters high
This aching heart

This heart - this heart will beat
In another place and time
This dream - this dream will hold me each day
And at night I pray
This soul will sing once more
When you and I stand on that distant shore
And feel the love familiar in this heart
