[Verse 1]
All eyes were staring
You floated through the room
Armed with your razor smile
Cutting to the bone
My voice fell useless
You flashed a quick "Hello."
Feeling the fool
Could you tell it showed?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But that was "Sometime Ago."
A memory vague and fading slow
Of somewhere I'd been

[Chorus 1]
Hand on heart
A promise, a word and a voice
Hand on heart
A rhythm of hope and choice, will keep us together

[Post-Chorus]
I don't know if I
Can reach that high
It's a long way to fall
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Hauntingly holding
My fate with a gaze
Like a child, mesmerized
By the candle's flame
Oh what lies behind those eyes
I could only guess
That certain way you stood
Apart from the rest

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now where is "Sometime Ago?"
When everything moved in slow-motion
Caught by my watering eye

[Chorus 2]
Hand on heart
A promise, a word and a voice
Hand on heart
A rhythm of hope and a vision of choice
Hand on heart
Promising, I'll never go
Hand on heart
For reasons you'll never know
[Post-Chorus 2]
Together through thick and thin
Lose or win, I'll be there for you

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Strange how the mind changes
Time and time again
Things once important, now
Pale in comparison

[Chorus 2]
Hand on heart
A promise, a word and a voice
Hand on heart
A rhythm of hope and a vision of choice
Hand on heart
Promising, I'll never go
Hand on heart
For reasons you'll never know

[Outro]
I promise girl, hand on heart
Hand on heart
Hand on heart
Hand on heart
Hand on heart
Hand on heart
Hand on heart
