(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
