"Tell It To Your Heart"
=======================
album _Mistrial_
(Lou Reed, 1986)
written by Lou Reed
=======================
I'm staring through a telescope at night
at a large light in the sky
Its spinning lights reminded me of you
A star spinning in orbit
lighting up the sky
Or maybe it was not a star at all
I'm standing by the Hudson River's edge at night
looking out across the Jersey shore
At a neon light spelling out some cola's name
And I thought your name should be dancing
beamed from satellites
Larger than any billboard in Times Square
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Ney York City lovers
Tell it to your heart
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
tell it to your heart)
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
tell it to your heart)
I'm up on the roof, it's 5 a.m.
I guess I couldn't sleep
And I see this spinning light that I saw last week
Maybe I should wake you up
but by then it might be gone
You never know what you see when you look up in the sky
I ran outside down a darkened street
listening to my boot heels click
My leather jacket squeaked, I needed a cigarette
When I turned the corner
my spinning light was in the street
They were filming a commercial on TV
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
we're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
New York City lovers
Tell it to your heart
tell it to your heart
Tell it to your heart
tell it to your heart
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
tell it to your heart)
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
tell it to your heart)
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
tell it to your heart)

album _Animal Serenade_
(Lou Reed, 2004)
sung by Lou Reed and Fernando Saunders
Jun 24, 2003
The Wiltern, Los Angeles
======================================
Staring through a telescope at night
at a large light in the sky
Its spinning lights reminded me of you
Star spinning in orbit
lighting up the sky
Or maybe it was not a star at all
I'm standing by the Hudson River's edge at night
looking out across the Jersey shore
At a neon light spelling out some cola's name
Your name should be dancing
beamed from satellites
Larger than any billboard in Times Square
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Ney York City lover
Tell it to your heart
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
tell it to your heart)
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid)
tell it to your heart
I'm up on the roof, it's 5 a.m.
and I guess I couldn't sleep
I see this spinning light that I saw last week
Maybe I should wake you
but by then it might be gone
You never know what you see when you look up in the sky
ooohhh
I ran outside down a darkened street
listening to my boot heels click
My leather jacket squeaked, I needed a cigarette
When I turned the corner
my spinning light was in the street
They were filming a commercial on TV
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
we're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
New York City lover
Tell it to your heart
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
tell it to your heart)
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
tell it to your heart
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
tell it to your heart
* chords: same as _Mistrial_ version.

"Tell It To Your Heart"
I was staring through a telescope at night
at a large light in the sky
its spinning lights reminded me of you
a star spinning in orbit
lighting up the sky
or maybe it was not a star at all
I was standing by the Hudson River's
edge at night
looking out across the Jersey shore
at a neon light spelling out some
cola's name
and I thought
your name should be dancing
beamed from satellites
larger than any billboard in Times Square
Tell it to your heart
Please don't be afraid
I'm the one who loves you
In each and every way
Tell it to your heart
Please don't be afraid
N.Y.C lovers
Tell it to your heart
I'm on the roof, it's 5 a.m.
I guess I couldn't sleep
and I see this spinning light that
I saw last week
Maybe I should wake you
but by then it might be gone
You never know what you see
if you look up in the sky
I ran outside down a darkenend street
listening to my boot heels click
My leather jacket squeaked
I needed a cigarette
When I turned the corner
My spinning light was in the street
they were filming a commercial
on TV
Tell it to your heart
Please don't be afraid
We're no teenage movie
That ends in tragedy
Tell it to your heart
Please don't be afraid
N.Y.C. Lovers
Tell it to your heart
