State of the Heart Lyrics


I tell myself I'm not looking for love
I tell myself it's the last thing I'm thinking of
I've got no expectations
And I mean just what I say
Then I look into his eyes
Damned if I don't lose my head
And I wonder how I thought
Those things I saidIt's the state of the heart,
State of the heart
Ready to risk it all,
Willing to fall
There are ways to keep it safe,
Ways to play it smart
But I've never learned the art
It's just the state of the heart
State of the heartI ought to know time never stands still
I ought to know but I always believe it will
I've had those perfect moments

Turn to days of silent pain
But I hate to turn away
If there's a chance, he's the one
I admit that I'm no good
At sleep and runThat's the state of the heart,
State of the heart
Ready to risk it all,
Willing to fall
There are ways to keep it safe,
Ways to play it smart
But I've never learned the art
That's just the state of the heart
State of the heartINSTRUMENTAL BRIDGEBut I hate to turn away
If there's a chance, he's the one
I admit that I'm no good
At sleep and runThat's the state of the heart,
The state of the heart
Ready to risk it all,
Willing to fall
There are ways to keep it safe
There are ways to play it smart
But I've never learned the art
That's just the state of the heart
State of the heartState of the heart
State of the heart
State of the heartState of the heart

McGovern was born in Youngstown, Ohio to Mary Rita Welsh and James Terrence McGovern.[1] She has Irish ancestry.[2] As a child, McGovern would listen to her father's barbershop quartet rehearse in their home. She was told by her elders that she began singing at the tender age of three, and would sometimes sing herself to sleep with things she heard on the radio. She decided at age eight that she wanted to be a professional singer; and she developed a taste for various types of music, including jazz, showtunes, oldies, and folk. Her influences include Barbra Streisand and Dionne Warwick.
