Michael McDonald - By Heart lyrics

(Michael McDonald/Chuck Sabatino & David Pack)

Girl, they ain't no way out

When something is meant to be

Darling, there ain't no doubt

I'm right where I want to be

So everything you see as the end of our road

I see as only a start

This ain't no time to stop before we begin

And though there's no promises

[Chorus:]

Everytime I think how good it could be

I start to be believe it's up to the stars

I should use my head

But that only tends to lose me and confuse me

Everytime I think how good it could be

I surely believe we'll make it that far

I should use my head

But I only know you by heart, by heart

Girl, I know I'm in

Over my head

But now I need to find out

Just what you want from me

And if I'm reaching too high, you know we live and learn

That's all it takes in this life

I can't be overly cautious where love's concerned

I know there's no promises

[Chorus]
