When You Took My Heart

(Album: Playing For Keeps - 1980)

Can you hear the music in me?
Your song that fills my ears
You placed it there within me
It's a love I've longed to share

I found what I've been searching for
Deep within your eyes
In the past, I lived without love
Now I won't let it pass me by

When you took my heart
I had longed for a love I had never known
When you took my heart
It was yours to have, 'cause you touched my soul
Well, she came along and took this boy's hand
And the child became a man
When you took my heart

Falling in love was so easy
But it's hard to understand
How, at first, you think you've got it made
Then it slips right through your hands

I really learned a lot, babe
Your memory lingers still
You really got to know me
Like nobody ever will

When you took my heart
I had longed for a love I had never known
When you took my heart
It was yours to have, 'cause you touched my soul
Well, she came along and took this boy's hand
And the child became a man
When you took my heart

I found what I've been searching for
Deep within your eyes
In the past, I lived without love
Now I won't let it pass me by

When you took my heart
I had longed for a love I had never known
When you took my heart
It was yours to have, 'cause you touched my soul
Well, she came along and took this boy's hand
And the child became a man
When you took my heart

Oh yeah, when you took my heart
Well, she came along and took this boy's hand
And the child became a man
When you took my heart
