Heart
Leo Sayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fill it up with your sweet love beside me
Ain't no fun to be a rolling stone inside
You buy the feeling and you pay with tears
For what it matters you flow with the motion
Then out of nowhere there's a full moon rising
And it's mine
And every
Every moment is the history we make and more
We got a legacy of understanding
I can love you better
But don't let your
Heart stop beating in time
Don't take me below the danger level
Caught up in the middle of a misery
Don't let me die
And I warn you if you let your
Heart stop beating in time
Don't make it a fatal combination
I won't ever find another your love no more
Got to get closer
Got to be in sight
You make it heaven to breathe with you woman
Don't you get lonely in the midnight hour like me?
And there's an angel that I follow on the wind and more
Within a universe of undiscovered eyes
We found each other
So don't let your heart stop beating In time
Don't take me below the danger level
Caught up in the middle of a misery
Oh baby
Don't let it be save my soul
I don't want to be no chains that hold
Gotta be a wild new world out
There is a plan
I don't want to be no one night stand
Gonna be alive for you down
Here is the love I can hold out in my hand
And you can feel it I'm nothing if you let your
Heart stop beating in time
Don't let your heart stop beating in time
Leo Sayer's song Heart in 2-3 is a love song that explores the depth of one's love towards their significant other. In the first verse, Sayer sings about how he fills the emptiness in his life with his lover's sweet love beside him, and in the chorus warns his lover not to let her heart stop beating in time as that would be a fatal combination for their love.
The second verse is a continuation of the idea of building a legacy together and promises to love better. The line "Caught up in the middle of a misery" implies that they have overcome a hurdle or went through a rough patch but they still found each other. The third verse expresses the idea of not settling for a one night stand kind of love but building a wild new world together.
The lyrics of the song are rich in imagery and metaphorical expressions, making it a powerful love song. It captures the essence of true love, which is not a transaction but a journey that must be nurtured and cared for. The message is clear; maintaining the intensity of the relationship requires effort, patience, and understanding.

One of the greatest pop songs ever written. Leo Sayer's finest moment, and one of the top songs written by the Gibb Borthers (Bee Gees). Real shame that it is largely forgotten.
@Romsie62
I remember this getting a lot of play at the time. I used to LOVE the changeover in the middle. Though yes, I am hearing this after a long time. :))
