Snuggled deep under my warm covers
I can feel the weight of my eyelids.
Sleep so near, yet just out of reach.
Sshhh, listen closely do you hear it?

Hear the sound of my heart beating.
A sound so simple yet it is such a gift.
Each beat is the beautiful sound of life
So I ask just as I drift for one more day.

Sshhh listen closely to hear its beating
I could get helplessly lost in its song. 
My heart's song has changed over time
even when broken its rhythm is beautiful

I have tried to ignore my heart's quirks
Its surprise somersaults and flip flops
But if someone really matters to you, 
your heart usually knows before you do. 

Sshhh listen closely love has its own sound
A change of rhythm gives it away every time
Love cannot be hidden, quieted or ignored
the heart's racing is an undeniable reaction

Sshhh listen, do you hear the difference? 
He is different from anyone before him
somehow his words leave me weak yet
stronger and more alive than ever before

Sshhh listen, to the whisper of the beats.
The rhythm of his name beats in my heart,
a whisper so quiet yet it roars inside of me.
Filling my heart with a brand new melody.

Sshhh just listen closely
to my heart's new rhythm,
because nothing will ever
sound the same again.
