Heart Of The Matter

(앨범: Lyin', Cheatin', Woman Chasin', Honky Tonkin', Whiskey Drinkin' You - 1983)

With my eyes, I have held a million lovers
But in my heart, I have held just a few
But I never touched the heart of the matter
'Cause my heart never mattered till I gave my heart to you

In my head, I have heard the songs a-ringing
With my pen, I have captured one or two
But I never found the reason to be singing
'Cause singing never mattered till I sang my songs to you

Dry your eyes, come lay down beside me
Realize this is where I want to be
You and I are the heart of the matter
And the love we share together will set our spirits free
Will set our spirits free

So tonight, if my voice is kinda shaky
Understand it's my soul coming through
'Cause in your hands is the heart of the matter
And my heart never mattered till I handed it to you

Dry your eyes, come lay down beside me
Realize this is where I want to be
You and I are the heart of the matter
And the love we share together will set our spirits free
Will set our spirits free
