Bon Jovi is an American rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey. Formed in 1983, Bon Jovi consists of lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi (John Francis Bongiovi, Jr.), guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, as well as current bassist Hugh McDonald. The band's lineup has remained mostly static during their history, the only exception being the departure of Alec John Such in 1994, who was unofficially replaced by Hugh McDonald. The band became known for writing several rock anthems and achieved widespread recognition with their third album, Slippery When Wet, released in 1986. After touring and recording non-stop during the late 1980s, the band went on hiatus after the New Jersey Tour in 1990, during which time Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora both released successful solo albums. In 1992, the band returned with the album Keep the Faith. Their 2000 single "It's My Life", which followed a second hiatus, successfully introduced the band to a younger audience. Bon Jovi has been known to use different styles in their music, which has included country for their 2007 album Lost Highway. Their latest album, The Circle, was released on November 10, 2009 in the United States.
As her heart rate beats down in the night
It sounds like a ploy
Still I can’t hear a sound but the beat of my heart
I can’t pick up that phone any more
But I need to confess
If I don’t say I love you, everything else is a waste of my breath
Every beat of my heart I would give
Every beat of my heart just to live
I live for your love, you’re all that I want
To die in your arms
I’d give you every beat of my heart
As I whisper your name
I wish you were here by my side
But the only way that I find you
Is when I close my eyes
With my ring on your finger
I hope and I pray
That you know deep in your soul
With every step that you take
Every beat of my heart I would give
Every beat of my heart just to live
I live for your love, you’re all that I want
To die in your arms
I’d give you every beat of my heart
And it’s the little things that you do
That make me want you more
It’s the way your hands are trembling
And what they’re trembling for
It’s the way a smile fits on your lips
The way you hold me tight
God knows I’d give everything
To be in your arms tonight
I live for your love
You’re all that I want
To die in your arms
I’d give every beat of my heart
Just to give
Every beat of my heart just to live
I live for your love, you’re all that I want
To die in your arms
I’d give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
