My heart still beats like African drums,
when your name is whispered,
my blood gushes to feel your touch,
thinking of your every move,
your every embrace,

My heart still beats like African drums,
that thumbing sounds that resonates like the wind,
your gentleness strokes my chest,

My heart still beats like African drums,
reminding me of whips that bruised my ego long ago,
convincing me that love still exists,
My heart still beats like African drums,
calling my name with each beat,
sending shock waves to my soul,
My heart still beats like African drums,
a reminder that you are always thinking of me,
a tune of love I can't forget,

My heart still beats like African drums,
drawing me closer to your eyes,
to stare and become hypnotized,

My heart still beats like African drums,
making me a slave of your smile,
watching me melt in your glow,

My heart still beats like African drums,
in a land far away you and I must stay,
beyond the evil of man,

My heart still beats like African drums,
God knows why you were born for me,
he fashioned you specially and unique,

My heart still beats like African drums,
a beat that will last until hearts goes quiet....
