Lyrics: Cathy Dennis. My Beating Heart.

You ask how I feel and I lie
But you know the answer
Words mean nothing
Read my eyes they say everything

I can't hide the truth although I've tried
If you get real close you'll know I lied

Listen to the sound of my beating heart
You can make it start whenever you want
Baby you're the one triggers off my drum
And it turns me on when I'm in your arms

The sound you hear in the dark is my beating heart
The sound you hear in the dark is my beating heart

The still of the night gets so loud
That's it's almost deafening
I can't run from myself or from you
I can't stop it happening

My knees get weak and I can't speak
I can't catch my breath when you're next to me

Listen to the sound of my beating heart
You can make it start whenever you want
Baby you're the one triggers off my drum
And it turns me on when I'm in your arms

The sound you hear in the dark is my beating heart
The sound you hear in the dark is my beating heart

I don't think that I could live without you
I'm sure your touch keeps me alive
My heart's let you know a thousand times
What words can never say

The sound you hear in the dark is my beating heart
The sound you hear in the dark is my beating heart
The sound you hear in the dark is my beating heart
The sound you hear in the dark is my beating heart
