Song Backstory:

In 1983, I saw Huey Lewis & The News in concert at a UCLA street fair.
It was one hour of nonstop high-energy, feel-good music.
 
That element is missing in most of today's music.
 
The music for this song was composed in October of 2016, on my birthday.
 
I would play this style all day if I could. It is even more powerful to perform it live, with a band.
 

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I was doin’ just fine, livin’ the high life
No more heartbreak, no more drama, no knife
Makin’ a name, knockin’ out songs every night
Spreadin’ the joy, keepin’ the people alright
Busy and free, bachelor king of the town
Pen in my hand, never looked around
Then she walked in… room went still
Eyes locked on mine — and that was the kill

[Chorus]
Oh, no… there goes my heart
What magic is this?
Fillin’ me with bliss
It’s okay to be happy I guess
Yeah, it’s okay to be happy I guess

[Verse 2]
I stood there frozen, mouth hangin’ wide
Stunned like a mullet, left high and dry
Tried to play cool, but my knees went soft
Brain short circuited, common sense lost
She smiled that smile — half shy, half sly
And just like that my independence died
I was the writer, the funny guy free
Now I’m a goner… somebody save me

[Chorus]
Oh, no… there goes my heart
What magic is this?
Fillin’ me with bliss
It’s okay to be happy I guess
Yeah, it’s okay to be happy I guess

[Bridge]
I had it all planned — songs, success, and space
No one to answer to, no one to chase
Now every chord I play sounds like her name
Every lyric I write just fans the flame
How did she do it? One look, one glance
Turned my whole world into a slow-dance trance
I was the catcher… now I’m the catch
Oh Lord, I never saw that comin’

[Final Chorus]
Oh, no… there goes my heart
What magic is this?
Fillin’ me with bliss
It’s okay to be happy I guess
Yeah, it’s okay to be happy I guess
(Oh no…)
There goes my heart
(Oh no…)
There goes my heart

[Outro]
Oh, no…
There goes my heart.
