Soulsister
The Way To Your Heart
Soulsister The Way To Your Heart was one of the first releases by Soulsister, a band consisting of Belgian songwriter/vocalist duo Jan Leyers and Paul Michiels.
After the singles “You Get To Me” (originally as The Soul Sisters) and “Talk About It” they had a #1 hit record with “The Way To Your Heart” in Belgium. In The Netherlands and Germany they reached the top 10. The song is a mixture of pop and rock with a very Motown-sounding tune. After its European success, the single was released in the US in 1989 were it went to # 41 in the Billboard Hot 100 and to #5 on Billboard Adult Contemporary. It was the only single by Soulsister that reached the Billboard chart. In The Netherlands the follow-up singles failed to chart. Only in Germany they had some minor success. Thereby Soulsister is often credited as a one hit wonder. The song is about the a boy dreaming of the girl he‘s in love with, but she does not answer his love. Soulsister The Way To Your Heart was the opening track of their debut album “It Takes Two” (1988), which was released under the name “Soulsister”. Just like many other Flemish artist, Soulsister enjoyed a serious boost in popularity when the first commercial Flemish television station VTM started broadcasting in February 1989. The then popular music show “Tien Om Te Zien (Ten To See) invited the band several times to perform one of their songs in front of a very enthusiastic crowd.
Soulsister The Way To Your Heart Lyrics
Woke up this morning with my heart on fire
Held on to what I'd been dreaming
Woke up this morning I had one desire
To get back to what I'd been seeing
Heaven, it was heaven,
I have never know any like this,
Witnessed anything like this
Glowing all over as I started on my feet
I thought that I heard somebody calling
Heaven, it was heaven,
Now I know I've seen the light
make it go on shining
I keep on searching for the way to your heart,
try to believe it's getting better,
baby, take me all the way to your heart
I want you... ohohohoho
All as we kisses, all the tenderness
That I'm being shared all around it
Only remind me of my only stress
No loving arms to surround me
Falling, I am falling
You can help me out again
being mine forever
I keep on searching for the way to your heart,
try to believe it's getting better,
baby, take me all the way to your heart
I want you... ohohohoho
You got it, you got it
There'll be no doubt about it
nobody's going keep me from you - oh
I want you, I need you
I'll find a way to get through
Nobody is going keep me from you - uhuh
Heaven, it was heaven,
Now I know I've seen the light
make it go on shining
I keep on searching for the way to your heart,
try to believe it's getting better,
baby, take me all the way to your heart
I want you... ohohohoho
I keep on searching for the way to your heart,
try to believe it's getting better,
baby, take me all the way to your heart
I want you, I want you... ohohohoho
