Heartbeat

Story Behind The Song

I was strumming simple chords searching for some rhythm while trying for a second song with the voice of Cadie Calhoun in mind. I came up with the arrangement and changes and the story developed as I sang along. Mark Riddick gathered his gang of top notch musicians and notably in this tune drummer Wes Little who along with guitarist Jon Conley did fantastic work.

Lyrics

I wake up in the morning to the sound of your heartbeat
You put your arms around me, there ain't nothing as sweet
As the look in your eyes at the break of day
It ain't no surprise why I feel this way
You start to speak...but I kiss those words away

A cup of coffee at the breakfast table
You know I would stay if I was able
But Now it's time for this Bird to fly
I'll be back and you know why
It has to do with the way you make me sigh

A thousand Angels on the head of a pin
Can't explain the love that you bring
It could last for a million years
A faithful heart without any fears
A thousand Angels on the head of a pin
They laugh with joy for all the love that you bring
No one else can really hear
The heavenly choir that sings when you are near


(Double time snare in interlude and bridge)

I want to sing all day
I want everybody to feel this way
When I see you I see you smile
I know that in just a little while
I'm going to feel like I can fly
I get so excited honey and you know why

I come back at night and I feel like I'm home
You put your arms around me I never want to roam
The look in your eyes as the sun goes down
It ain't no surprise that I'm still around
And I start to speak but you kiss those words away

Fun throwback, uptempo a la early Dixie Chicks.
