Straight From The Heart

Bryan Adams · Bare Bones [2010]

I could start dreaming but it never ends,

As long as your gone we may as well pretend.

I've been dreaming,

Straight from the heart.



You say it's easy but who's to say,

That we'd be able to keep it this way.

But it's easier,

Coming straight from the heart.



(CHORUS)

Ohhhh, give it to me straight from the heart,

Tell me we can make another start.

You know I'll never go

but as long as I know

It's coming straight from the heart.



I see you on the streets from other time,

And all the words would just fall out of line,

While we're dreaming

Straight from the heart.



(CHORUS)

Ohhhh, give it to me straight from the heart,

Tell me we can make, one more start.

You know I'll never go,

But as long as I know, it's coming straight from the heart.



Ohhhhh,

Go and leave me darling.



Ohhhhh,straight from the heart,

Tell me we can make one more start

You know I'll never go, as long as i know

you give it to me now,

Straight from the heart,

Tell me we can make one more start.

You know I'll never go as long as i know

It's coming straight from the heart

Give it to me

ohhhhh, nooo

Ohhhh, nooo

Straight from the heart,

You know I'll never go as long as I know,

It's coming straight from the heart.
