[Verse 1]
It's the song
That just keeps playing on the radio
And you know
I haven't seen you for a while

I lie awake at night
And wonder how you are
And I wish that I could see you again

Is it fate or is it luck
That brings us back?
Or is it just a common point of view?

Time has put a spell on you
You never seem to change
And I wish that I could see you again

[Chorus]
I'll be here where the heart is
When the dreams that we've been after
All come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

[Verse 2]
It's the light that just keeps
Shining day after day
When other loves have come and gone

I'll be here
With open arms to take you in
And I wish that I could see you again

[Chorus]
I’ll be here where the heart is
When the dreams that we've been after
All come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

[Bridge]
And in between
And when I need to see you again
All I have to do is close my eyes

Oh
The picture's coming in my friend
I'll hold you again
But until then

[Chorus]
I’ll be here where the heart is
When the dreams that we've been after
All come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

I will still be here where the heart
When the dreams that we've been after
All come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

I will still be here where the heart
When the dreams that we've been after
All come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
