I want to be held in your arms,
Laying my head on your chest.
I wanna listen.
Your steady breathing,
Your chest going up and down slowly.
Your heart beating in rhythm
Beat after beat,
I steep lower.
Finally getting rest.
I'm falling asleep.
Finally somewhere to belong,
Right by your heartbeat.
Finally, I'm where I'm supposed to be.
Your steady heartbeat,
Oh, how I love it!
I've waited, oh, so long.
And this is only my waking dream,
Because your not close enough for me
To hear your heartbeat.
