Besides Daniel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the way my whisper sounded then
and how you reached for it,
you reached reached for it, reached for it
can you recall the feeling when we danced in step
we never said a word
how could I tell you now
all that I want to say, I want want to say, want to say
But if you were to ask me to,
you know I would
In a heartbeat, in a heartbeat
But if you were to ask me to,
you know I would
In a heartbeat, in a heartbeat
Your smile came bright and it woke me up
the winter hovered outside the house
I want to touch your mouth, touch touch your moth, touch your mouth
cus I never did it
when the house was cold
I didn't want to go
I cooked dinner and made the bed
and then you syour head, you ssyour head, syour head
and you never said it
but if you were to ask me to
you know I would
In a Heartbeat, in a Heartbeat
And if you were to ask me to
you know I would
In a Heartbeat, in a Heartbeat
And if you were to ask me to
you know I would
In a Heartbeat, in a Heartbeat
And if you were to ask me to
you know I would
In a Heartbeat, in a Heartbeat
