By Heart
Unveiling the Intimate Symphony: Conway Twitty's 'By Heart' Meaning
Lyrics
Her face reflects as much of me as any mirror can
Her face reflects my identity like a mirror, showing a significant connection.
And my image in her eyes is all I know of who I am
The image I have of myself is based on how she sees me in her eyes.
But even as I see myself the lines begin to blur
As I perceive myself, the distinctions between us become less clear.
For who I am has long been tied and tangled up in her.
My identity has long been intertwined and complicated by my relationship with her.
And it isn't luck or chance she can read me at a glance
Her ability to understand me is not due to luck or chance but a deep understanding.
Not just because she's clever and she's smart
Her intelligence plays a role, but it's not the sole reason for her understanding.
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
Her familiarity with me is a result of the time and experiences we've shared.
By heart.
She knows my innermost feelings and thoughts instinctively.
It seems like it's been centuries since she and I began
Our relationship has endured for a long time, feeling like centuries.
And both of us took all our chances on a single hand
We both took risks and committed to each other with a single chance.
Though we took it day to day it's gone from year to year
Though we lived day by day, our journey has spanned many years.
And no one ever close to me was ever half as near.
No one has ever been as close to me as she has been.
And it isn't any trick or because her mind is quick
Her understanding is not a trick, and it's not just because of her quick mind.
She reaches my conclusions as I start
She comprehends my thoughts as I express them.
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
Her deep knowledge of my emotions is a result of the time we've spent together.
By heart.
She knows my heart intimately, having learned it thoroughly over time.
And amazing as it seems she brings magic to my dreams
She adds a magical quality to my dreams, going beyond mere skill in magic.
Not just because she's mastered magic's art
Her mastery of magic is not the sole reason for the enchantment she brings.
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
Her deep understanding of my heart contributes to the magic in my dreams.
By heart.
Even in the extraordinary aspects of life, she knows my heart intimately.
She knows my heart...
Reiteration that she truly understands and knows his heart.
