In A Heartbeat Lyrics - Steve Wariner

Jimmy was a shadow the youngest of three boys 

How he longed to feel the light 

Jimmy's older brothers sure could make some noise 

So he became the quiet type 

But deep inside he had some powerful dreams 

He'd think about them then he'd smile 

And he was gone, gone to somewhere far beyond 

Where he was strong, strong, shining in the sun 

They say that someday the meekest heart will sing 

There was Jimmy waiting in the wings 

Susie was a waitress morning, noon and night 

But she never did complain 

Jimmy'd stop for lunch there at least a thousand times 

But one Monday something changed 

She leaned across him with some chocolate pie 

Then he looked into her eyes 

And he was gone, gone to somewhere far beyond 

His heart beat strong, strong, he knew she was the one 

They say that someday the meekest heart will sing 

Love found Jimmy waiting in the wings 

And when he held her for the very first time 

He found the one thing he'd been missing all his life 

And they were gone, gone, to somewhere far beyond
