Lyrics

"One Heartbeat"
Written & composed by Yves Stilmant ©2025

[Verse 1]
You were born with a light in your eyes
Like the dawn breaking open the skies
And from that moment, I just knew
The best of me would live in you

[Verse 1B]
Through the changes, the highs and lows
You're the reason my spirit grows
Whatever road your life will chart
You'll always carry half my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Even when I fade with time
You'll still be the rhythm in mine

[Chorus]
One heartbeat -- yours and mine
Tied together beyond the line
No matter where the years may go
There's a love you'll always know
It speaks the words you need to hear
A promise time could never steal
[Verse 2]
I've made mistakes and I've lost my way
But you gave me the will to stay
You remind me who I could be
When your eyes are looking back at me

[Verse 2B]
And when you fall, when you feel alone
I hope my words will lead you home
You've got my strength inside your chest
You are the part that loves the best

[Pre-Chorus]
Even when the stars grow dim
My love will still live on in them

[Chorus]
One heartbeat -- yours and mine
Tied together beyond the line
No matter where the years may go
There's a love you'll always know
It speaks the words you need to hear
A promise time could never steal

[Bridge]
Someday, you'll hear my voice in rain
A quiet song that calls your name
And you'll remember how it felt
To be the reason that I knelt

[Final Chorus]
One heartbeat -- yours and mine
Carved in time we can't rewind
No matter what this world may do
I'll be right there inside of you
It speaks the words you need to hear"
Forever beats...
Because of you
