AboutBeth Burgess Expertise I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.
Experience I've been a country music fan for all of my 25 years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!
Education/Credentials I'm currently enrolled in law school (so if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have excellent research skills!)
Question I think this video was made in the early 90's or mid 90's. Male singer. The video is a guy carrying a girl toward a bed, I think it had a canopy on it. The only words I know are in the song is: If you heart is tired lay your heart on me for the rest of your life. I think that is sort of the way it goes. I heart a couple of seconds of the song on the radio tonight in the car but they didn't say who the artist or name of the song was. I have been trying to find this song for years. I would be great if you could give me the answer. It almost sounds like Clint Black.
Answer Hi Cathy! The song you're looking for is "You Have the Right To Remain Silent" by Perfect Stranger. Here's a link to the video and the lyrics to the song:
"You Have the Right To Remain Silent" by Perfect Stranger
Can i have this dance my you're looking pretty
Is there something wrong did he leave you hurting
I don't mean to pry but that tear in your eye gave you away
If you don't want to talk we'll keep it quiet
But sometimes a heartache hurts worse if you hide it
I think there's a chance one slow dance might ease the pain
You have the right to remain silent
Anything that you say as i hold you against me
Will forever be a secret between us two
I've been wanting you but you didn't know it
And now that he's gone at last i can show it
If your heart is tired for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me
So many times my eyes have held you
Tonight please give my arms that chance
If you don't feel the need for conversation
We'll just let our hearts talk while we dance
You have the right to remain silent
Anything that you say as i hold you against me
Will forever be a secret between us two
I've been wanting you but you didn't know it
And now that he's gone at last i can show it
If your heart is tired for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me
If your heart is tired for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me
