DIRECTLY TO MY HEART
V1
You're finally talking
Directly to my heart
Was it simply a case
of knowing how to start
The warmth that I'm feeling
Is like a breath of sun
With my hand in yours
Love between us is fun

Chorus
You've given me candy
And kisses before
Surprised me with flowers
And cards at my door
Gifts are mindful
And can give love it's start
But lately you're talking
Directly to my heart


V2
Not too long ago
I felt cold and unsure
Could the love we found
Be the kind to endure
Now I am feeling
It won't come undone
By us going slowly
We can finish the run

Bridge #2
Some games lovers play often lead to a breakup
Leaving others no choice or chance for a makeup
But our love's been tempered by ice and by fire
To withstand temptations and wanton desire

V3
We have shut out the past
Let our love overcome
A look to the future
Shows us acting as one
With every passing day
Our load feels much lighter
And with each passing night
Our love light shines brighter

Chorus repeat

hi Pete
I assume by the chorus this for a female singer. Great title, I thought Barbra Mandrell might would come one like it after her book came out.

Maybe put in a few relateable details of their relationship.

Hi Pete,

Good song. I like the rhyming structure. I don't think that this song needs to be confined to a female singer. Anyone who has been in love or knows about love could sing this song.

Dennis & Leslie,
I thank you for taking the time to read and comment.
Yes, it is a song for a female singer. The lyrics are simplistic but, IMO, ring true.
Pete
