Straight to the heart



Wrapped in my memory wrapped in my heart
Wrapped around me from the very start
Don’t wanna be nervous I wanna be sane
I wanna ride from the start again
I’ve been caught in the showers, caught in the rain
Win or lose it’s the name of the game
Capture a memory and a heart
You captured me from the very start
If ever you need me, I’ll gladly show
I never wanna let you go
Yeah straight to the heart
Are you feeling the same thing
Straight to the heart
Though we’re miles apart
I believe it I’m in no doubt
Stick around we can work it out
Capture a memory and a heart
You captured me from the very start
If ever you need me, I’ll gladly show
I never wanna let you go
Yeah straight to the heart
Are you feeling the same thing
Straight to the heart
Though we’re miles apart
Straight to the heart

Straight to the heart - David Paton

I wrote this song in the 1990s when I was recording the album Fragments with Jon Turner producing. It wasn’t suitable for that album and I thought I’d save it for another project. I forgot all about it until Jon came to visit me in 2019 and jogged my memory. He did a great job of the production and I just thought that this song would sit nicely in this album.
