(Chris DeGarmo/Geoff Tate/Michael Wilton)
    All eyes were staring you floated through the room
  Aarmed with your razor smile cutting to the bone
  My voice fell useless you flashed a quick "Hello"
  Feeling the fool, could you tell it showed?
  But that was "sometime ago"
  A memory vague and fading slow, of somewhere I'd been
    HAND ON HEART
  A promise, a word, and a voice
  HAND ON HEART
  A rhythm of hope and choice will keep us together
    I don't know if I can reach that high
  It's a long way to fall
  Hauntingly holding my fate with a gaze
  Like a child mesmerized by the candle's flame
  Oh what lies behind those eyes
  I could only guess
  That certain way you stood apart frome rest
  Now where is "sotime ago?"
  Whene everything moved in slow-mo-tion
  Caught by my watering eye
    HAND ON HEART
  A Promise, a word and a voice
  HAND ON HEART
  Promising I'll never go
  HAND ON HEART
  For reasons you'll never know, together through thick and thin,
  Lose or win, I'll be there for you
    Strange how the mind changes time and time again
  Thins once important now pale in comparison
    HAND ON HEART
  A promise, a word, and a voice
  HAND ON HEART
  A rhythm of hope, and a vision of choice
  HAND ON HEART
  Promising I'll never go
  HAND ON HEART for reasons you'll never know
  I promise girl, hand on heart
