I Know Him By Heart

Maybe its that dreaded time of the year, perhaps its the void the heart longs to fill. I let the tears flow as Vonda Shepard's I Know Him By Heart palpate every fibre of my being. I'm perturbed, scared even. Yet i know, tomorrow, i'll laugh at how silly i'd been. Before tomorrow comes, before it takes away some of the sweet sorrow, i'll indulge in my absurdity for a while longer.


I Know Him By Heart

written by Paul Williams and Jon Vezner
performed by Vonda Shepard

There's a secret path I follow
To a place no one can find
Where I meet my perfect someone
I've kept hidden in my mind
Where my heart makes my decisions
'Till my dream becomes a vision
And the love I feel
Makes him real someday

'Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart

Am I living in an illusion?
Wanting something I can't see
If I compromise, I'd be living lies
Pretending love's not meant to be
'Cause I know my heart's worth saving
And I know that he'll be waiting
So I'll hold on and I'll stay strong 'till then

'Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart

No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart
