Here in My Heart
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra/Scorpions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes there's a time you must say goodbye
Though it hurts you must learn to try
I know I've got to let you go
But I know anywhere you go
You'll never be far
Cause like the light of a bright star
You'll keep shining in my life
You're gonna be right

Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart

Won't be any tears falling from these eyes
Cause when love's true love never dies
It stays alive forever
Time can't take away what love we had
I will remember our time together
You might think our time is through
But I'll still have you

Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart

I know you'll be back again
And 'till then
My love is waiting

Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart

Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart




No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart

Sometimes there's a time when you must say goodbye
Though it hurts you must learn to try
I know I've got to let you go
But I know anywhere you go
You'll never be far
'Coz like the light of a bright star
You'll keep shining in my life
You're gonna be right

Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart

Won't be any tears falling from those eyes
'Cos when true love never dies
It says alive forever
Time can't take away what we have
I will remember our time together
You may think our time is through
But I'll still have you

Here in my heart...
I know you'll be back again
And 'till then
My love is waiting

Here in my heart...

I lost a good friend to cancer in 2013 at the ripe old age of 42.

This song helped me thru it. Such a rough time.

@minakatsama2014

He - or she? - was really young. I'm sorry for your loss... In 2014 I lost my mother from cancer tòo but, at least, she was 81 years old. I still miss her very badly... 😥😥😥

@claudio2249

Eu perdi 4 pessoas queridas por causa do câncer. O amor é o que me mantém vivo ainda.
