Hearts on Fire
Steve Winwood
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Night was falling and my chances were low Nothing was happening, I was ready to go Then I saw her walking through that door And I knew right then I had to get me some more Moved up close, up next to the bar There she sat, lookin' like a movie star Went up and asked her, 'Do you mind if I sit?' She said, 'No, but if you see a chance, you'd better take it.' Just the two of us sat talking together The music and people all drifting away Hearts on fire, burning with love We were written in the stars above Take us higher to the things that we know There's no other place we can go Told her everything that happened to me A thousand limousines and the women for free She said, 'That's when these words'll ring true You ain't nobody 'till somebody loves you.' Love came to me the minute I saw her I wanted to make her part of my life Just the two of us sat talking together I wanted to make her part of my life
