Steal My Heart Away
Van Morrison · Other Songs - Van Morrison
I can hear the piper play
And every time the song begins
You just steal my heart away
The journey's longer than
I thought my love
There's lots of things that
Get in the way
But every time I think of you
You just steal my heart away
Just like a morning
In May like this
See the heather on the hill
There's a place way up
The mountainside
Where the world
Keeps standing still
Just like the sunshine after rain
I'll come
To be with you will save the day
Cause I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away
Just like a morning
In May like this
We see the heather on the hill
There's a place up on
The mountainside
Where the world is
Standing still
Just like the sunshine after the rain
I'll come
To be with you will the save the day
Cause I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away
Cause I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my hear away
Cause I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away
Steal My Heart Away
Van Morrison's 'Steal My Heart Away' stands as a quintessential example of his mid-career soul and R&B fusion, characterized by lush harmonies and a driving, infectious rhythm. Released during a period where Morrison was refining his signature blend of psychedelic rock and traditional soul, the track showcases his mastery of vocal phrasing and emotional depth. While often associated with his broader catalog of late 1960s and early 1970s recordings, the song captures the essence of his work with The Blue Beat Boys and his solo efforts, reflecting the era's vibrant jazz and gospel influences. The composition remains a staple of his discography, frequently covered and celebrated for its timeless appeal and the enduring power of its melody.
