Lyrics

You and me, we always sweat and strain

You look for sun, I look for rain

We're different people, we're not the same

The power of the sun

I look at treetops, you look for caps

Above the water, where the waves snap back

I flew around the world to bring you back

It was the power of your heart

The power of your heart

Oh, the power of your heart

All around the world to bring you back

It was the power of your heart

Of your heart

You looked at me, I looked at you

Your sleeping heart was shining through

Wispy cobwebs that we're breathing through

The power of the heart

I looked at you, you looked at me

I thought of past, you thought of what could be

I asked you once again to marry me

The power of the heart

The power of the heart

The power of the heart

All around the world just to bring you home

That's the power of your heart

Of your heart

Everybody says love makes the world go around

I hear a bubble, I hear a sound

Of my heart beating and I turn around

And find you standing at the door

You know me, I like to dream a lot

Of this and that and what is not

And finally I figured out what was what

It was the power of your heart

The power of your heart

The power of your heart

All around the world just to bring you back

It was the power of your heart

Of your heart

You and me, we sweat and strain

But the result, it's always the same

I think somehow we're in again

The power of the heart

I think I'm dumb and I know you're smart

The beating of a purebred heart

I say this to you and it's no lark

Marry me today

You know me, I like to dream a lot

Of what there is and what there's not

But mainly I dream of you a lot

The power of your heart

The power of your heart

The power of your heart

All around the world to bring you back

It's the power of your heart

The power of your heart

The power of your heart

All around the world to bring you back

It's the power of your heart

Finally I figured out what was what

It was the power of your heart

Of your heart

Of your heart
