Poet's Heart

Westlife · Other Songs - Westlife

When did I lose my voice?

When did I make the choice to be

living so easy in the quiet?

Too much of restless thinking

But they say time is everything.

You came and opened up the slience.



So I lie awake,

writing symphonies trapped inside me,

But now I know, what you give to me,

I'm living with the poet's heart, heart



Now all the lights turned on and I'm never gonna stop

As the words come out, it's because you lit the spark.

You're a priceless, timeless, precious work of art.

Though everywhere you are,

I'm living with the poet's heart.



Whisper to me again

You *fall* from my ears straight to my pen,

How did you see right through?

It's like you're always new.



So I lie awake

writing symphonies, you awoken me

Cause now I know, what you sing to me,

I'm living with the poet's heart, heart.



Then all the lights turned on and I'm never gonna stop

And as the words come out, it's because you lit the spark.

You're a priceless, timeless, precious work of art.

Though everywhere you are,

I'm living with the poet's heart



Oh, oh

So let's lie awake, making history

Yeah, you and me

Cause now we know,

so won't you sing to me,

our melody,

yeah



Now all the lights turned on and I'm never gonna stop

As the words come out, it's because you lit the spark.

You're a priceless, timeless, precious work of art.

Though everywhere you are,

I'm living with the poet's heart, heart, heart, heart



Now my feet won't touch the ground,

Yeah, we're flying high homeward bound

Take my hand, yeah, just like that.

We'll keep riding, riding

Don't look back, don't look back,

no, no...
