Lyrics:
As I watch the sun start to rise from my seat five miles in the sky
I stare into a brand new day, for you it's already fading away
Everything that I say or I do has so much tied to you, now
It’s kind of funny how I adore someone I’ve never met before, but…
My heart is in the east, Libi, libi b’mizrach
My heart is in the east…

I want to see the dawn of hope in your eye
I want to brush the tears from your cheek when you cry
I want to smell the blossoms in your hair. I want to hear the sound of your songs in the air
I want to taste the honey on your lips. I want to dance with my hands wrapped ‘round your hips
I want to lift you up and watch you take flight. I want to know that you’ve found peace tonight
My heart is in the east, Libi, libi b’mizrach
My heart is in the east, V’anochi b’sof marav
My heart is in the east, Libi, libi b’mizrach
My heart is in the east…
I think about you most everyday and wonder when I’ll finally get the courage to say
I wouldn’t be the man I am without you. I couldn’t see the world the same
If you hadn’t come true
My heart is in the east…
My heart is in the east…
REPEAT FULL CHORUS
When I come down to earth in an hour or two
I’ll still be dreaming that I’m coming home to you


Libi b’mizrach v’anochi b’sof marav: My heart is in the east, but I am on the very edge of the west.
