Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though it hurts you must learn to try
I know I've got to let you go
But I know anywhere you go
You'll never be far
Cause like the light of a bright star
You'll keep shining in my life
You're gonna be right
Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart
Won't be any tears falling from these eyes
Cause when love's true love never dies
It stays alive forever
Time can't take away what love we had
I will remember our time together
You might think our time is through
But I'll still have you
Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart
I know you'll be back again
And 'till then
My love is waiting
Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart
Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart
Scorpions’ “Here in My Heart” is a poignant and emotional ballad about the pain of separation and the enduring power of love. The lyrics express a deep sadness over the necessity of saying goodbye to someone we love, but also convey a sense of hope that this love will endure even in the face of distance and time. The singer knows that they must let go of their loved one, but reassures them that they will always be close in heart and in memory.
The opening lines “Sometimes there’s a time you must say goodbye/Though it hurts you must learn to try” set the tone for the song. The singer acknowledges that saying goodbye is difficult, but it is something we must learn to do. This sentiment is echoed later in the song with the lines “You might think our time is through/But I’ll still have you”. The singer is telling their loved one that even though they may be parting ways, their love will remain strong.
The chorus of “Here in My Heart” repeats the phrase “Here in my heart” four times, emphasizing the central theme of love and the enduring nature of this love. The line “No distance can keep us apart” is a powerful reminder that even though the physical distance between two people may be great, their love can still connect them. The combination of meaningful lyrics, heartfelt melody and powerful instrumentation make this song a poignant and moving reflection on the power of love.

I lost a good friend to cancer in 2013 at the ripe old age of 42.
This song helped me thru it. Such a rough time.
@minakatsama2014
He - or she? - was really young. I'm sorry for your loss... In 2014 I lost my mother from cancer tòo but, at least, she was 81 years old. I still miss her very badly... 😥😥😥

Eu perdi 4 pessoas queridas por causa do câncer. O amor é o que me mantém vivo ainda.
