(originally by Lou Reed)



You and me we always sweat and we strain
you look for sun and I look for rain
we're different people, we're not the same

the power of the sun
I looked for treetops, you looked for caps
above the water, where the waves snap back

I flew around the world to bring you back
ah the power of the heart


you looked at me and I looked at you
the sleeping heart was shining through
the wispy cobwebs that we're breathing through

the power of the heart
I looked at you and you looked at me
I thought of the past, you thought of what could be

I asked you once again to marry me
the power of the heart


Everybody says love makes the world go round
I hear a bubbling and I hear a sound
of my heart beating and I turn around

and find you standing at the door
you know me I like to dream a lot
of this and that and what is not

and finally I figured out what was what
it was the power of the heart


You and me we sweat and strain
the result is always the same
you think somehow we're in a game

the power of the heart
the power of the heart


I think I'm dumb I know you're smart
the beating of a purebred heart
I say this to you and it's not a lark

marry me today
You know me I like to dream a lot
of what there is and what there's not

but mainly I dream of you a lot
the power of the heart
the power of the heart
