Is that a beat I hear?

I stop, I listen with an open ear

A drumming, beating noise I think

Is it a drip coming from my sink?

It's not but what on earth could it be?

It must be a woodpecker out in a tree

Or is it a clock just ticking away?

I can't tell for sure... I cannot say

Maybe it's closer and much more real

It seems near enough to touch or feel

I realize now how close, how true

My heart beats aloud, my love for you
