Half a Heart

Story Behind The Song

I really wanted to write a love song for my indie project, but I wasn't in love at the time. I wrote about how much I love music, and how it really is the best part of me. My friend Willie Nelson graciously offered to sing with me on my CD. :) It has not been cut and released on any of his projects.. just mine. :)

Lyrics

Half a Heart

A love song?s just a love song, till I sing it to you
Then it flies like a bird through my heart
A morning?s just a morning, till I wake up with you
Then it?s a song, and you?re the melody that leads me from the dark.

Everybody knows that I am Half a heart, half a heart, half a heart without you
You are the song in me.

There was no beginning, no love at first sight
You?ve just always been here.
You are the reason I can dream when I?m asleep at night
You?re in my heartbeat, keeping me safe inside.

Everybody knows that I am Half a heart, half a heart, half a heart without you
You are the song in me.

There was a time I tried to walk away and leave you
The air so cold I couldn?t breathe.
But now I know I turned around cause I believe you are the better half of me.
Half a heart, half a heart, half a heart without you
Half a heart, half a heart, half a heart without you
