Heartbeats
Melinda Ortner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some days I think I might be dreaming
When everything's too right
And People they told me about this feeling
The one you can not fight
But I try and I try
But I just can't deny
When it's there it's everywhere
So I won't wonder why
My heart beats again
Whenever I'm happy
Are you happy too
My heart beats for you
Whenever I'm happy
Are you happy too
So I play my cool and keep my quiet
Til the beat in my step feels right
And I try very hard to gently hide it
Every time you step in sight
And you look so unsure
As you walk me to the door
But you see you've got to me
And I'm only wanting more
My heart beats again
Whenever I'm happy
Are you happy too
My heart beats for you
Whenever I'm happy
Are you happy too
When the world is spinning
And you're lost in a dream
There's no reason to stop
When you can feel your heart beat again
Whenever you're happy
Are you happy too
Where can I place the blame
Tell me who put me in the frame
It's not fair don't you dare
Oh and I'm loosin' my head in this
But I'm loving every minute of it
What a shame it'd be to never see
The one thing that you really need
My heart beats again
Whenever I'm happy
Are you happy too
My heart beats for you
Whenever I'm happy
Are you happy too
My heart beats again
Whenever I'm happy
Are you happy too
My heart beats for you




Whenever I'm happy
Are you happy too
