Ironically, I have my annual physical tomorrow--I hope my heart's okay. [gulp]
I hope you enjoy the song!
Lyrics
IN A HEARTBEAT
Words & Music By Jerry Pettit Facebook.com/JerryPettitMusic
If you call my name at midnight When the world has turned away If you're standing in the darkness And you need somewhere to stay
Don't you worry, don't you question If I'll be there by your side I would cross a thousand mountains I would swim against the tide
CHORUS: IN A HEARTBEAT,IN A HEARTBEAT I would leave it all behind IN A HEARTBEAT, IN A HEARTBEAT You just say the word and I'll be there in time No distance is too far No hour is too late I would come running, come running IN A HEARTBEAT
If the storms are getting stronger And you're losing faith to stand If you're drowning in deep waters I will be your solid land
I don't need to think it over There's no choice I need to make What I feel for you is certain It's a vow I'll never break
CHORUS: IN A HEARTBEAT,IN A HEARTBEAT I would leave it all behind IN A HEARTBEAT, IN A HEARTBEAT You just say the word and I'll be there in time No distance is too far No hour is too late I would come running, come running IN A HEARTBEAT
When you love somebody truly There's no hesitation there You don't count the cost or measure You just show them that you care
CHORUS: IN A HEARTBEAT,IN A HEARTBEAT I would leave it all behind IN A HEARTBEAT, IN A HEARTBEAT You just say the word and I'll be there in time No distance is too far No hour is too late I would come running, come running IN A HEARTBEAT

So, today's the day for the physical. Hope you come out with a good report and the urge to sing. Somehow it seems appropriate that you have posted a heartbeat song and that it's so positive.
"I will be your solid land" is so comforting. Lovely message and I enjoyed listening.
Outstanding AOR anthem! Tuneful and soaring and full of big emotion, this one has radio hit--or movie montage featured song--written all over it.
Another winner from FAWM’s favorite Crooner! Wishing you the best for tomorrow.
Good luck with your annual physical. Beautiful song, singing and playing. Love the sentence. Beautifully nostalgic 💖 Fantastic harmonies. A treat to listen to ✨️
i used to know people who would do things for others in a heartbeat, but not so much any more. your music often takes be back to friendlier times, when positive decisions are made in a heartbeat.
Wonderful song!! I love every part of it. Love the intro, love when the band comes in full. Love the vocals, and the harmonies are awesome! The lyrics/story....excellent. The chorus is outstanding. Perfect hook!! Great composition and great performance. Really enjoyed it!!
Oooh, I love the soft intro before the full band kicks in. Great title/concept (always the case with your songs), acoustic guitars sound beautiful, and the vocal has that perfect pop timbre. Lovely track, hope you pass your annual physical with flying colours 🫡
Oh man is this something!! Super good lyrics and your performance is outstanding!!
Beautiful lyric, and your vocals are lovely :)
Your songs are always put together so carefully. Great blueprint for success.
