about

Words and Music © 1995 by John Tabacco and Nick Dimauro
This revised version © 2011
Published by: It Iz What It Iz Music (SESAC)

This song originally appears on the Brian Rivera CD "Tragedy @ Hand". Nick DiMauro sang that version and there is no way I could top it. He just knows how to belt them out. So on this recording I opted for a more laid arrangement more suitable for my voice. And unlike the original, this one has an added middle section written in 2012.

lyrics

HEARTLESS WONDER (2011)

Something about her gets me crazy and I can't say why
Makes me feel silly
I hang around her neck like jewelry sparkles in my eyes
And everything's trippy
Tell me how do I convey
The wonder of a perfect day
The beauty of my lovers kiss
Her perfect splendor

She's a heartless wonder baby
And she steals from me
A heartless
Nothin's ever free
A heartless wonder baby
No matter what she be
I can't stop feelin' this way!

Cradle a picture golden Tuesday we lit up the sky
Could I be dreaming?
I never knew life could be so easy with her by my side
Somebody pinch me
But there's a message in her smile
I haven't seen it in a while
I can't remember what it is, oh I remember...

She's a heartless wonder
And she steals from me
A heartless wonder
Nothin's ever free
A heartless wonder baby
No matter what she be
I can't stop feelin' this way!
No I can't stop feelin' this way!

Well, maybe someday soon
I will have this siren figured out
Until that day I'm just a moon
Orbiting around her love
Her gravity a potent drug...

Tell me how do I convey
The wonder of a perfect day
I can't remember why that is -
Oh I remember

She's a heartless wonder
And she steals from me
A heartless wonder
Nothin's ever free
A heartless wonder baby
No matter what she be
I can't stop feelin' this way!
I can't stop feelin' this way!
I can't stop feelin' this way!

A heartless wonder baby
And she steals from me
A heartless wonder baby
Nothin's ever free
A heartless wonder baby
No matter what she be
I can't stop feelin' this way!
I can't stop feelin' this way!
I can't stop feelin' this way!
