HEART TO HEART

Verse
They knew their paths would cross once more
Even as he left her door, he swore he'd make it back for her one day
She'd known him since their high school years
She can still recall those tears
Watching as her future drove away

Chorus
Heart to heart, skin to skin
He's loving her and she's loving him
Young hearts don't it just seem right
Don't it just seem right

Verse
For 2 years he was out of sight, she prayed he'd come back every night
She wondered if that day would ever come
When others tried to catch her eye, she would only pass them by
She knew he was the only one

Chorus
Heart to heart, skin to skin
He's loving her and she's loving him
Young hearts don't it just seem right
Don't it just seem right

Verse
What chance they'd meet again, then she saw him walking through the rain
A vision on that wild and windy bay
His hands shook, she almost cried, he thought his heart would burst with pride
She said I've looked out every single day

Bridge
She knew then their lives were one, they'd never be apart
He said I've loved you all this time, I'll never break your heart
She told him how she loved him too and held him oh so tight
They walked off down that stormy beach as day turned into night

Chorus
Heart to heart, skin to skin
He's loving her and she's loving him
Young hearts don't it just seem right

Heart to heart, skin to skin
Keep loving her and keep loving him
Young hearts beating close tonight
Close tonight
Heart to heart........

Beautiful!! Very nice job! Well Done!!

Outstanding arrangement, the music track has such a cool vibe! The instrumentation is great, as is the vocal performance. Very well recorded and mixed. The hook is catchy, and the chord progression of the chorus is sophisticated and refreshing. The different string parts and pads combine into a really lovely texture. I totally dig the sound!

vocal tone matches the message theme just perfectly, keyboard and strings so perfect. Such a great vocalist fits this song perfectly. Tons of possibilities definitely has market potential. Reminds me of the eighties and chris debuhrg or whatever his name was. Sometimes in song writing too much is said, in this case just enough to get the message across and leaves room for the listener to build the picture in his/her mind.

Soulmates, apart for so long and longing for each other...you can easily tell from the beautifully crafted melody, slowly loping along in minor keys. As the story unfolds, you're wondering if they will keep their promises and find each other again. The vocals have that storytelling style of Kenny Rogers, the soft ensemble in the background compliments nicely without overtaking the song. Oh, do the soulmates find each other again? Listen to it and find out!

Great song.....good lyrics...good honest voice

solid smooth ballad groove with great production - cool harmonies a strong melody and hook. tells a story with feeling.

Very nice song, easy to listen to and follow the story. The style reminds me a bit of Don Henley or Glenn Frey's solo work. Well-balanced, well-played and it sets an extremely-pleasant atmosphere from start to finish.

You have a nice peaceful sounding voice that lends itself well to this tune. You told a story very well. Musically it was fitting and not overpowering. I could see/hear Maybe Kenny Rogers doing this one.

Very pretty and well-written piece. Nice arrangement and instrumentation is just about perfect for this piece. Very passionate and soulful sound.
