Straight From The Heart
Chris Hillman and Jennifer Warnes Lyrics

I know the reasons why you're not here with me
I understand why you're not by my side

But I told you I'd survive if you ever had to leave
I promised I'd live on even if you left

But in the light of day, I tend to do okay
During the day, I manage just fine

But when the night takes hold, I think of you
But at night, you're all I can think about

And I go crazy from the heart
My heart aches so much it drives me insane

I reach out to touch you
I yearn to feel your presence

But you're nowhere in the dark
But you're not here, not even in the darkness

My mind knows why we're apart
My brain understands why we cannot be together

In my mind, there's no doubt we could not make it last
I'm convinced that our love couldn't have lasted

But I've learned to live without a love that's in the past
But somehow I've come to accept the love that's gone

But in the night so still, her memories feel so real
But in the stillness of the night, memories of her haunt me

They make my blood run cold. I reach for you
These memories chill my blood, and I yearn for you even more

When the moon takes hold
When the night sky becomes dark and the moon shines bright

The stars come out and I lose control
I feel helpless and vulnerable as the stars twinkle above

Yes, I go crazy.
Yes, I still go crazy even though I know it's pointless

Crazy from the heart
Insane because of my heart's feelings for you
