When the night has come and I'm all alone
And I have some time to breathe
So much damage done
I guess nobody won
Is it too late to make you see

I love you
Oh darlin' yes I really do
I love you
Oh darlin' yes I really do

I know very well how it got this way
I was drifting on my cloud
There isn't much to tell
Except you've gone away
Darlin' now I'm reaching out

I love you
Let me show you how I really do
I love you
Oh darlin' you gotta know it's true

I wish that I had you now the way that I had you then
Darlin' I'd take you and hold you and kiss you
Over and over again
Maybe we can try to get back to that place
When passion made us wild
No more alibis
Standing face to face
You will see it in my eyes

I love you
Oh my darlin' you know it's true
I love you
Let me tell you how much I really do
Oh darlin' you know I really do
Oh darlin' yes I really do

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
