Johnny Van Zant - Take Every Beat Of My Heart Lyrics

Like rubbing sticks together heats up the stone
You unveil emotions like strikin' gold
We could believe it's just a short road
Or we could take it just as far as it goes

Take me beyond the border of heaven
Where we can see no end in sight
Let the truth remove the distance
So we can feel it happen here tonight

Don't let me stand a chance to recover
I wanna find out what real love is like
Take me on, baby, I'm waitin' right from the start
Take every beat of my heart

You put my dreams in motion when you walk in the room
You make it so hard to breathe the closer I get to you
Well, it's all over but to say it's so
From all directions I'm ready to go

Take me beyond the border of heaven
Where we can see no end in sight
Let the truth remove the distance
So we can feel it happen here tonight

Don't let me stand a chance to recover
I wanna find out what real love is like
Take me on, I know I can take it
Finish me off, baby I'm waitin' right from the start
Take every beat of my heart

Well, I won't take no for an answer
'Cause you can feel it when it's right
Oh, tonight we're goin' the distance
Oh, right through the heart
Right from the start

You took me beyond the border of heaven
Where we can see no end in sight
Let the truth remove the distance
So we can feel it happen here tonight

Don't let me stand a chance to recover
I wanna find out what real love is like
Take me on I know I can take it
Finish me off, 'cause baby, I'm waitin' right from the start
Yeah, like a thief in the dark

Take every beat of my heart
Take every beat of my heart
