We Were a Heart Away

I must admit I could have loved you better But you must admit We didn’t really try And I must admit That when we are together There is a light in the air That makes me wonder why We were a heart away A beautiful notion That we missed At the end of the day We were a heart away A heart away The opening note Carried such great promise But our melody lines Were never quite the same The thinnest of veils Always hung between us With the closing chord The promise never came We were a heart away Into the mystic We took it for granted When, I can’t say We were a heart away We were a heart away Two hearts and the rites of spring Two hearts that are wandering Two hearts that might have been just one We might have been just one heart We could have been just one heart We should have been just one heart For a moment in time I recognized the answer To a question of love And what is left behind We were a heart away A beautiful notion That we missed At the end of the day We were a heart away We were a heart away
