Gladys Knight - Every Beat Of My Heart Lyrics






Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country
heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain say farewell
but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now In my darkest hour

And the way our arms entwine

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the
Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

    same beat and cords different song
    but it a nice tune

  19. N.... N....

    This song was written by a Greek, Johnny Otis.

  20. M.... ....

    For all you kiddies that wonder why so many songs of this era were about being separated, this was due to the duty of young men back in the day to join one of the US Military services which made men out of boys. Today, we have snowflakes, powder puffs and cry baby socialists/ commies. DooWop for ever and ever.....

  21. S.... S....

    I 🎶88🎤WITH EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART....NIICE❤

  22. b.... ....

    This is the first song I ever heard by her, I was all of 5 or 6 years old, teenage sisters, running around, mom's was still a young woman, we couldn't get enough of this one. I remember loving Glady's voice even then. Ah, the memories.

  23. C.... R....

    Very romantic song !! ❤️❤️

  24. D.... M....

    Old school doo-wop, she was fabulous then as she is now.

  33. j.... h....

    Hey this a Classic right here gangsta jamming old school DPH 4 Life !

  34. c.... j....

    Always loved this ending. Would sit by the radio until I heard the last part of the song when she sings out that long "heart".I was 9 when they were playing this on the radio. Always loved it.

  35. l.... ....

    Dick Clark used to call them "Gladys Pips & The Knights" by mistake.

  36. V.... M....

    My childhood,not my era but my moms.

  37. J.... K....

    Angela Sweetheart I think I am just going to Love You With Every Beart Of My Heart as I am still madly in love with you always and forever

  38. 1.... ....

    GLADYS THE BEST.

  39. a.... k....

    Shame on her son, for trying to terrorize r&b royalty..
    someone should make him attend a class for knucklehead children..
    then make him listen to Donald Trump speeches for 30 days straight..
    then make him walk the white house dog for a entire month..
    then see if this dummy sees the error of his ways

  40. B.... T....

    Song came out originally in 1951.

  41. F.... M....

    new years eve ..... 2018 will be here soon ....... good luck everybody.

  63. C.... C....

    1961.. Yeaaaa I remember this song from My Motown Years.. Glady Knight was amazing..

    C.... C....

    +Cynthia's Channel Cynthia- this record came out long before Gladys and the Pips came to Motown- that wasn't till 1966.

    C.... C....

    +bill chew Did you know she saw The Jackson Five perform at The Regal Theatre in Chicago, Ill but her words didn't carry much weight at Motown.   This was 1966 and it may have been a good thing because it gave them more of a chance to work on the Act.

    C.... C....

    @Cynthia's Channel
    you know what cynth i thought i knew a little about motown artists, didn't know gladys knight had been around that long ? nice track anyway thanks for the share ? hey how did the storm pan out ? any damage ?

    C.... C....

    Weather here is crazy,,, So Far nothing but a little rain..  Nothing to damage anything..Winds are stronger...
    Texas has got already 17 inches of rain there, heading this way they say... But so far we are ok...
    Thanks Dave for asking..

    C.... C....

    Did not know that

  64. B.... H....

    Not that I'm saying this is a mediocre song.   Its a great song.

  65. B.... H....

    Gladys Knight is one of the very best female singers.   She can make a mediocre  song exciting.
