Back With a Heart lyrics

(Peter Allen/Jeff Barry)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize

(Olivia Newton-John /Gary Burr)

Every day the pain dies a little
I'm not at the end but I'm way past the middle
I know when I'm all healed up
I'll be back with a heart and ready to love

Good as new or maybe better
So glad to know the tears aren't forever
Tears dry and soon enough
I'll be back with a heart and ready to love

Doesn't mean that all the hurt is through

(Olivia Newton-John, Victoria Shaw, Earl Rose)

Here we are at last, suddenly the pieces fit
All at once, I make sense of this crazy world
Loved you for so long, now your hand is holdin' mine
It's like we're standing still in time

This is our moment, this is our night
A new beginning of the rest of our lives
With every heartbeat, with every kiss
Let's always remember that love is a gift

(Olivia Newton-John, Victoria Shaw, Earl Rose)

Here we are at last, suddenly the pieces fit
All at once, I make sense of this crazy world
Loved you for so long, now your hand is holdin' mine
It's like we're standing still in time

This is our moment, this is our night
A new beginning of the rest of our lives
With every heartbeat, with every kiss
Let's always remember that love is a gift

(Peter Allen/Jeff Barry)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize

(Olivia Newton-John /Victoria Shaw)

I don't want to cry
I don't want to say goodbye
But I will if you won't fight for our love

It takes more than sayin' I love you
We need more than words to get us through
I need to feel that you will fight for our love

We have a history
A passionate story
But lately, we're most strangers than friends
All through the ages

(John Farrar)

Every night when you're as mean
As a ladder with a broken wrung
When I know you're sorry won't make it
From your heart to your tongue
There are nights when you keep pushing me
And I won't go on
'cause when I get mad enough darlin'
I will be standing my ground

But on a night like this I know I can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister

(John Farrar)

Every night when you're as mean
As a ladder with a broken wrung
When I know you're sorry won't make it
From your heart to your tongue
There are nights when you keep pushing me
And I won't go on
'cause when I get mad enough darlin'
I will be standing my ground

But on a night like this I know I can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister

I know that in time I can handle this a little better
But what can I do if your heart won't let her go
There are times I mean everything to you
Life can be so sweet when I do
You know...

You gotta know
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me

(Olivia Newton-John /Gary Burr)

He didn't get home until ten
He was still hard at work even then
He didn't notice the change in her hair
Or the candles that burned everywhere

She went off to bed all alone
He didn't notice she'd gone
And it takes all her strength to hang on

She's on the edge of the circle watching him spin around
They can't reach each other until he slows down

(John Farrar)

Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
