Here in My Heart
Chicago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time just leave it alone
With 17 reasons not to believe
Nothin' goes everybody knows like you always want it to be
But, here in my heart
There's a dream that's unbroken
And it get's in my way
Here in my heart the door is still open
Waiting for you to walk into my life (oohh oo-oo-ooh)
What I've been feelin' I can't explain
Lost in the muse of your eyes
An' I'm fallin' so hard
Just like the rain
Comes a time when ya cross the line and you know you got to believe
'Cause here in my heart
There's a dream that's unbroken
An' it gets in my way
But it won't be denied
Here in my heart the door is still open
Waiting for you to walk into my life
I know!
(That) I may never sleep again
'Till I see you (ooh oo-oo-ooh)
Oh, baby, I know (I know!)
Life is too short and I can't pretend
It's not about you (not about you)
Can't do without you
Wooo oo-oo-ooh
Here in my heart
There's a dream that's unbroken
And it get's in my way (gets in my way)
But it won't be denied
Here in my heart (here in my heart)
The door is still open
Waiting for you to walk into my life
There's a dream that's unbroken
It gets in my way
But it won't be denied
Here in my heart (here in my heart)
The door is still open
Waiting for you to walk into my life
In my life (in my life)
In my life (in my life)
The lyrics of Chicago’s “Here in My Heart” are a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit. The song’s narrator is struggling to let go of a past love and move on, but finds that their heart won’t let them. Despite the many reasons they have to walk away and start anew, a dream remains unbroken and a door is still open for this love to walk back into their life.
The lines “I keep on thinkin' I should be free / This time just leave it alone” suggest that the singer is tired of holding onto a love that may never come to fruition. They may feel that they are wasting their time, or that they should be focusing on other things in life. However, the dream that remains unbroken continues to get in their way and reminds them that there is still hope for this love.
The chorus reinforces this idea, with the recurring lyrics “Here in my heart / There’s a dream that’s unbroken / And it gets in my way / But it won’t be denied / Here in my heart the door is still open / Waiting for you to walk into my life”. The song ends with the singer declaring that they “can’t do without you”, cementing the idea that this love is too important to let go of.

on Oh, Thank You Great Spirit
Great song and a fitting tribute to Jimi from his friend and fan Terry Kath, I've all ways believed the song was kind of a prospective of the dead, coming to the realization that they have crossed over and or no longer burden by all of life's problem's and pain's and are now free from all, and now overcome with gratitude to the Great Spirit , Greater of the universe and of life , GOD, that he is now free to fly the heavenly sky's , but ether way death or just a good night's sleep, great song.
