Heartbeat

How much do I owe you
You gave me my heartbeat
As I search for the words to say my tongue falls away
You are my heartbeat
As pure and as true as the ocean is blue
My heartbeat

You were by my side
When all I had was a dream
And a gleam in my eye
So I'll never forget you
I'll always love you
You
You had my back
When all I had was a five string guitar and a knapsack
So I'll never forget you
I'll always Love you

Cause when the rain came
You were my ark
You were my shelter
And when the sun shone
You were right there to fill me with laughter

Oh Mama
You gave me life
Gave me your breast when you were bleeding inside
And I'll never forget how you held me
The first time a girl that I loved ever left me
And oh Papa
You gave me my voice
And through it all
Always gave me a choice
And I finally overstand how you taught me
Your shining example of Love and positivity
Even through the worst
You always put me first
And suffered the cost
For every battle I lost
And now I
I can't imagine another
More perfect mother and father

All through my life
You always had my back
Gave me more
Than in a lifetime I could ever pay back
So I just needed to tell you
How much I love and respect you

All the sacrifices you made
Are lessons growing in me now
All the Love you gave is living within me
Within my heartbeat

You were by my side
When all I had was a dream and a gleam in my eye
So I'll never forget you
I'll always love you
You
You had my back when all I had was a five string guitar and a knapsack
So I'll never forget you
I'll always Love you

Heartbeat
You are my heartbeat
My heart beats in you
