The Power of the Heart [Radio Edit]

You and me, we always sweat and strain
You look for sun, I look for rain
We’re different people, we’re not the same
It’s the power of the sun, the power of the sun

I looked at treetops, you look for caps
Above the water, where the waves snap back
I flew around the world to bring you back
Ah, the power of the heart

You looked at me and I looked at you
The sleeping heart was shining through
The wispy cobwebs that we’re breathing through
It’s the power of the heart, the power of the heart

I looked at you and you looked at me
I thought of the past, you thought of what could be
I asked you once again would you marry me
It’s the power of the heart
It’s the power of your heart

Everybody says love makes the world go round
I hear a bubbling, I hear a sound
Of my heart beating and I turn around
And find you standing at the door

You know me, I like to dream a lot
Of this and that and what is not
And finally I figured out what was what
It was the power of the heart
It’s the power of your heart

You know me, you know me
I like to dream a lot
It’s the power of your heart
