The Beat of Your Heart - Andrew Polk/George Abud/John Cariani/Alok Tewari

作词：David Yazbek

作曲：David Yazbek

She was in a white dress

With red and purple ribbons in her hair

She was dancing with somebody

But in love and music all is fair

We were finishing The Girl from Ipanema

Going into Summertime

I was in the middle of my solo

When her eyes met mine

Love starts on a downbeat

Love starts when the music starts

Love starts when the tune is sweet

And you lift your feet

To the beat of your heart

Love makes a rhythm

Love dances in a dancer's shoes

It moves when you start to move

And what is the groove

The beat of your heart

And we played Moon River

And I Want to Hold Your Hand

And the girl in the white dress

And the ribbons in her hair

Danced to my band

And I could feel my heart

It started jumping in my chest

And I smiled at her

And she smiled at me

And the music did the rest

Love sparks on the upbeat

Igniting with a minor 9th

Resolving to a major 6th

Something clicks

And everything starts

There goes the kick drum

Spelling out the rhythm of love

Telling you get off your seat

And move your feet

And dance to the beat of your heart

And if you play me summertime

And if I stop and close my eyes

I'll see an angel swirling moving

Young and so alive

This music is a time machine

This music is a gift from God

Her face was beautiful

My God her face was beautiful

So maybe I'm romantic

Maybe I'm a sentimental fool

Maybe music is the food of love

But music and love who can tell them apart

Just let me hear the downbeat

Let me hear the downbeat

And let me hear the bah bah bah

Bah bah bah

Let me hear it kick for kick and

Whack the snare

And shake your ass

And stir up the air

And dance with the girl with the ribbons in her hair

Embracing the rhythm of love

That's exactly the same as

The beat of your heart

The beat of your heart

The beat of your heart

The beat of your heart
