How long have I got
Before common days become legend
How long have I got
'til this dream of life becomes heaven
Oh, life passed too fast
It's hard to know it won't last forever

How long have I got
Before passion gives up it's fire
How long have I got
Before time strangles desire
Oh, my fear is to leave here
Never having really arrived
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/leslie+phillips/beating+heart_20082962.html ]
Who can hear my beating heart
Pounding so, wanting more
Who can hear my beating heart
Pounding on the door

How long have I got
To make mistakes and be wiser
How long have I got
To learn to be less of a liar
Oh, to face my best try I know
I need someone who is higher

How long have I got
To answer a higher calling
How long have I got
To walk the line without falling
Oh, needing meaning, wanting to know
Just what I'm here for
