Bonnie Tyler – MATTER OF THE HEART

Producer for Bonnie: ?

Recorded in 1986 for the soundtrack to the film ‘The Wraith’, starring Charlie Sheen. Lyrics taken from careful listening.

If it was a matter of money

You’d be in by now

She’d be lying by your side

You’d be thinking

Love’s door is open wide

You feel defeated

But you’re acting proud

Would you try to hide it?

She doesn’t care how you come at all

You know all that matters

Is that your love is strong

It’s a matter of the heart

It’s a matter of the soul

You know a good love only starts

When you start to lose control

And she’s calling out your name

And she needs you in the night

You gotta run into the flame

‘Til you’re blinded by the light

You’ve got to take her in your arms

And let her know

She’ll always be your spark

It defines a mans’ heart

It’s just a matter of the heart

You thought she’d swallow

All the tales you told

Ready to believe

You’re so together

There’s nothing you can’t do, no

But first impressions only leave her cold

It isn’t what she needs

She doesn’t care about the world you planned

She’ll run to you, if you understand

It’s a matter of the heart

It’s a matter of the soul

You know a good love only starts

When you start to lose control

And she’s calling out your name

And she needs you in the night

You gotta dive into the flame

‘Til you’re blinded by the light

Oh…instrumental

It’s a matter of the heart

It’s a matter of the soul

You know a good love only starts

When you start to lose control

And she’s calling out your name

And she needs you in the night

You gotta run into the flame

‘Til you’re blinded by the light

It’s a matter of the heart

Matter of the heart (x5)
