“Heart to Heart”
By James Blunt
There are times when I don’t know
Where I stand
You make me feel like
I’m a boy and not a man
There are times
When you don’t give me a smile
I lie awake at night
And worry for a while
Chorus
It’s OK ‘cause I know
You shine even on a rainy day
And I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I’ll come running because
You and I won’t part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye
Heart to heart
There are times when I cry
‘Cause you shed no tears
Your mind’s so far away
But your body’s right here
There are times
When I just walked out your door
And thought I’d never get
To see you anymore
(Chorus)
Wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I’ll come running because
You and I won’t part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye
Heart to heart
I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall
