Heartbeat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you take your first breath, I'll be the first witness
When you open your eyes, I'll thank God you're alive
You give me this feeling, that my love has no limits
When I look in your eyes and they look just like mine

[Pre-Chorus]
And there's nothing I won't do for you

[Chorus]
Darling you're my blood, you have my heartbeat
You have my heartbeat, beating loud
And I'm waiting for your love to feel your heartbeat
And I am aching to hold you now

[Verse 2]
When you take your first steps, I need to be there
Thought I belonged to the roads, but you made a house feel like home (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You are my lighthouse, a peak of light from the dark clouds
I've lived under my whole life, I thank God you're alive

[Pre-Chorus]
And there's nothing that I won't do for you (Ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
Darling you're my blood, you have my heartbeat
You have my heartbeat, beating loud (Loud)
And I'm waiting for your love to feel your heartbeat
And I am aching to hold you now
[Bridge]
I will be your shoulder (Be your shoulder), when you're feeling pain (Ooh, feeling pain)
I will try to make it all better (Better, better, better)
I will be your father (Ooh, your father), I will be your friend (Ooh, be your friend)
I will be here for you forever


[Chorus]
Darling, you're my blood (You're my blood), you have my heartbeat
(Darling) You have my heartbeat, beating loud (Loud)
And I'm waiting for your love (Said, I'm waiting for) to feel your heartbeat (And I'm waiting for)
And I am aching to hold you now

[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, woah, oh

There's something strange
Haha, ha
