Hand On Heart lyrics

Chris DeGarmo/Geoff Tate/Michael Wilton)

All eyes were staring you floated through the room
Aarmed with your razor smile cutting to the bone
My voice fell useless you flashed a quick `Hello`
Feeling the fool, could you tell it showed?
But that was `sometime ago`
A memory vague and fading slow, of somewhere I`d been

HAND ON HEART
A promise, a word, and a voice
HAND ON HEART
A rhythm of hope and choice will keep us together

I don`t know if I can reach that high
It`s a long way to fall
Hauntingly holding my fate with a gaze
Like a child mesmerized by the candle`s flame
Oh what lies behind those eyes
I could only guess
That certain way you stood apart frome rest
Now where is `sotime ago?`
Whene everything moved in slow-mo-tion
Caught by my watering eye

HAND ON HEART
A Promise, a word and a voice
HAND ON HEART
Promising I`ll never go
HAND ON HEART
For reasons you`ll never know, together through thick and thin,
Lose or win, I`ll be there for you

Strange how the mind changes time and time again
Thins once important now pale in comparison

HAND ON HEART
A promise, a word, and a voice
HAND ON HEART
A rhythm of hope, and a vision of choice
HAND ON HEART
Promising I`ll never go
HAND ON HEART for reasons you`ll never know
I promise girl, hand on heart
