He sits and waits for the answer
To the question, that's killing him inside
Will he lose his reason for living
Or will it keep slipping through his hands

So many memories past
To let it slip away like that
Faith's the only hope he has

Hands reaching, hearts beating
Holding on to dear life
Hope's fading, doctors waiting
Only a miracle can save her now
The beating of a heart

He sits and waits beside her
Hoping for signs that she's healing
A glimpse of hope as her eyelids
Come back to life and meet his own

So many memories past
To let it slip away like that
Faith's the only hope he has

Hands reaching, hearts beating
Holding on to dear life
Hope's fading, doctors waiting
Only a miracle can save her now
The beating of a heart

Will he get the chance to
Hold her in his arms,
Or will this be the end
Of everything they had'
The light is growing dark
But hope will carry on
The beating of a heart
The beating of a heart

Hands reaching, hearts beating
Holding on to dear life
Hope's fading, doctors waiting
Only a miracle can save her now
Save her now
Save her now
Save her now
Save her now
The beating of a heart
