Hearts Of Stone
Southside Johnny/Asbury Jukes Lyrics

You stare in the mirror at the lines in your face
You examine your reflection and see the physical changes that remind you of how much time has passed.

And you try so hard to see
You make an effort to relive the moments when we used to be together.

The way things were when we were at your place
You wish for the past when we were at your home together, happy and carefree.

Everyday was just you and me
We shared a close bond and were each other's world every day.

And you cry because things ain't like before
You feel sad because things have changed and our relationship is not the same anymore.

Well, don't you know it can't be that way anymore
You must understand that we cannot recreate the past as time and circumstances have changed.

But don't worry baby
Don't stress, my dear.

I can't talk now, I'm not alone
I cannot speak freely with you as someone else is present with me right now.

So put your ear close to the phone
Please come closer to the phone so that we can speak quietly and intimately.

This is the last dance, the last chance
This is our final opportunity, and we must make the most of it.

For hearts of stone
This is our last chance to change and express the love that has been hidden in our cold hearts.

If there was something, baby, that I could do
If there was a way for me to make things better, I would do it.

Something that would last, honey, I would
I would do anything to create a lasting change in our relationship.

But you should know better than to think that you
You must understand that we cannot turn back time and make things the way they used to be.

Can return to the past
The past is gone, and we must focus on the present and future.

So close your eyes and I'll be there
If you close your eyes, you can imagine I'm beside you.

Hold you once more, not go anywhere
I wish to hold you again and never leave.

I wish I could, babe
I long to be with you, but I cannot change our present circumstances.

And you cry because things get so strange so fast
You become emotional because things shift unexpectedly and rapidly.

And you cry because nothing good ever lasts
You feel sad because good moments are fleeting and short-lived.

Well, I know babe
I understand, my love.

Yes, I know, babe
Yes, I understand.

This is the last dance, the last chance
This is our final opportunity, and we must make the most of it.

For hearts of stone
This is our last chance to change and express the love that has been hidden in our cold hearts.

This is the last dance, the last chance
This is our final opportunity, and we must make the most of it.

For hearts of stone
This is our last chance to change and express the love that has been hidden in our cold hearts.
