One Word (Straight to the Heart) - Chris de Burgh

One word, one heart, one night, is all I want,

One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me;

Midnight, and all is well,

I hear the mission bell,

Out on the road, nothing is moving,

As I speed from town to town;

Two hearts are beating fast,

But they are still many miles apart,

Oh the mood was shining on a distant shore,

Burning like a fire in my heart,

I've got to see her, I've got to say -

One word, one heart, one night, is all I want,

One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me,

I never knew I cared so much before,

I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart,

I'm going to tell her tonight - straight to the heart,

I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart,

Like a cannonball...

Headlights are blazing through,

Turn on the radio, I hear the news,

Hand on the wheel, foot on the floor,

And on, and on, and on we go,

This car is like a friend,

Bring her the message that I want to send,

Oh the dawn was breaking and I saw the sun,

Burning like a fire on the bay,

I'm nearly there now, I'm gonna say -

One word, one heart, one night, is all I want,

One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me,

I never knew I cared so much before,

I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart,

I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart,

I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart,

Like a cannonball...

One word, (yes,) one heart,

One night, (yes,) one girl, (yes,)

I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart,

I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart,

I've got to give her my love - straight to the heart,

I've got to give her my love - straight to the heart,

I've got to tell her myself - straight to the heart,

I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart,

Like a cannonball...
