Heartbeat in the Darkness

(Dave Loggins - Russell Smith)



Cadillac smiles in the ladies' styles in this world

They ain't no part of me

A hundred dollar bill can cure your ills in this world

But it ain't no good to me



You see money and clothes are easily burned

People and cars are easily turned around

I'm looking for something that'll last me all of my life

I'm listening for the sound



Chorus:

I wanna hear her heartbeat

In the darkness

Everynight of my life

I wanna hear a heartbeat

In the darkness

Next to mine



A woman trying to find a diamond mine

Ain't my kind, she ain't no use to me

A big estate with a wrought-iron gate

A mansion on the hill, ain't where I wanna be



You see without love a house ain't a home

A diamond ain't no more than a stone in the ground

I'd give evry material thing I own in this life

If I could just hear the sound



Chorus:

I wanna hear a heartbeat

In the darkness

Everynight of my life

I wanna hear a heartbeat

In the darkness

Next to mine



--- Instrumental ---



Chorus:

I wanna hear a heartbeat

In the darkness

Everynight of my life

I wanna hear a heartbeat

In the darkness

Next to mine



I wanna hear a heartbeat

I wanna hear a heartbeat

I wanna hear a heartbeat...
