Heart
Sayer Leo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We giving up on all the emptiness
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Heart in 2" by Sayer Leo seem to talk about the importance of having a partner and not giving up on love. The opening lines "We giving up on all the emptiness" suggest that the singer had given up on finding love but then found it in the form of their lover who fills up the emptiness in their life. The following lines, "Ain't no fun to be a rolling stone inside, You buy the feeling and you pay with tears" describe how life used to be before the singer found the love they were searching for. It seems that they were lost and unhappy before, trying different things to fill the emptiness but always ending up in pain.


The chorus talks about the importance of not giving up on love and not letting one's heart stop beating in time. The singer is telling their lover not to let go of the love they have found and to keep the flame burning for as long as they can. They also talk about how they have a legacy of understanding and how they can love their partner better. However, they remind their partner not to take them below the danger level or caught up in the middle of a misery.


In the following verse, the singer talks about how they want to be closer to their partner and that being with them is like heaven. They also talk about how they and their partner found each other "Within a universe of undiscovered eyes" which could mean that their love is special and rare. The song ends with a warning to not let their heart stop beating in time, meaning that they should not let go of their love for each other and to keep the relationship strong.

@FairytaleFarmChippingNorton

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. :))
