Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On to the Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait for the Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts. Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five.

Burning Of The Heart Lyrics

Richard Marx

One after one they give into the urge
Caught by some hand of desire.
Held by the feelings that brings them together.
Its all a mystery. when will they learn.
Its just emotion on fire.
That soul taking, primitive, passion of nature.
Chorus:
I try to run. I try to never fall apart.
But love takes pleasure from
The burning of the heart
Burning of the heart.
Telling myself I should run while theres time
I see that look in her eyes
Shes turning the heat of the moment up higher.
And watching for questions I have in my mind.
She knows somewhere in our lives
Its only love that can find us an answer.
Chorus
Telling myself I should run while theres time
I see that look in her eyes
Shes turning the heat of the moment up higher
And watching for questions I have in my mind
She knows somewhere in our lives
Its only love that can find us an answer.
Chorus
