Send A Message To My Heart
Dwight Yoakam · Dwight Yoakam - Thirty Six All Time Greatest [2004]
(Kostas, Kathy Louvin)
Chorus: (Both)
Send a message to my heart
On the wings of the wind
Let me hear your sweet voice sayin'
You love me again
Even though we're apart
I still hold your memory
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
(Dwight)
Darlin' when you're all alone
Tell me do you think of me
Does my name touch your lips
Am I still in your dreams
(Patty)
Do your arms reach out for mine
In the still of the night
Do you wish that I was with you
When you turn out the lights
Chorus: (Both)
Send a message to my heart
On the wings of the wind
Let me hear your sweet voice sayin'
You love me again
Even though we're apart
I still hold your memory
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
Instrumental
(Patty)
All these moments alone
Make me realize
Just how empty this old world is
Without you in my life
(Dwight)
Our day is yet to come
And our love is so sweet
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
Chorus: (Both)
Send a message to my heart
On the wings of the wind
Let me hear your sweet voice sayin'
You love me again
Even though we're apart
I still hold your memory
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me...
