Ruby Murray Heartbeat
Hear it, hear it, hear my heartbeat
Pounding, pounding like a drum
Louder, louder, goes my heartbeat
As nearer, and nearer, and nearer you come
So hurry, hurry, says my heartbeat
Take me, touch me, make me thrill
Faster, faster, goes my heartbeat
I try but I can’t keep it still
They say when a heart beats too wildly
That it breaks like a toy balloon
But darling, that’s putting it mildly
Compared to what will happen to me
If something doesn’t happen soon
^Listen, listen, to my heartbeat
Crying, sighing, breathlessly
Tell it, tell it, tell my heartbeat
That your heart beats for me
