Rhythm [of My Heart]

Nary a sound but my own beating heart 
As I caught a glimpse of her sultry gaze
A loud rhythmic pulse like a ticking clock 
I was mesmerized and in such a daze 

My heart pounded in rhythm with every beat
As I reveled in her alluring smile 
A melody sang by a lark so sweet 
I floated high above the clouds awhile 

The beat only grew louder and louder
As I looked straight into her pretty face 
A magical harmony oh so clear 
I was in awe and sent my heart ablaze 

I could only hear the rhythm of my heart 
At that moment, I had her in my sight
