Steve Goodman Can't Find My Heart
The stage is set and the lights go down
The passion play can now begin
Enter the hero and the heroine
He's supposed to be good at this
He's supposed to know how
To say what he's feelin' inside him now
Where did it go... I've looked everywhere
Can't find my heart when I need it
I need it tonight
The players stroll around the stage
How they try to make it seem
That everything will work the way
It did in the dream
The players speak from memory
The automatic repartee... but the words
Just step all over what they meant to say
Where did it go... I've looked everywhere
Can't find my heart when I need it
I need it tonight
The moments gone and the lights come up
The players return to take their bows
And exit once again into the here and now
Tomorrow night the lights go down on
One more mystery
And one more chance to get it the
Way it's supposed to feel
Where did it go... I've looked everywhere
Can't find my heart when I need it
I need it tonight
Where did it go... I've looked everywhere
Can't find my heart when I need it
I need it tonight
I need it tonight
