(originally by Lou Reed)
|
You and me we always sweat and we strain
|
you look for sun and I look for rain
|
we're different people, we're not the same
|
the power of the sun
|
I looked for treetops, you looked 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
|
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 to marry me
|
the power of the heart
|
|
Everybody says love makes the world go round
|
I hear a bubbling and 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
|
|
You and me we sweat and strain
|
the result is always the same
|
you think somehow we're in a game
|
the power of the heart
|
the power of the heart
|
|
I think I'm dumb I know you're smart
|
the beating of a purebred heart
|
I say this to you and it's not a lark
|
marry me today
|
You know me I like to dream a lot
|
of what there is and what there's not
|
but mainly I dream of you a lot
|
the power of the heart
|
the power of the heart
|
