A Letter to My Heart - Jim Reeves

Dear heart, there is something I must tell you

Something sad and so hard for me to say

For I know how much you always loved her

And how you always hoped that she’d come back someday

But day after day my hopes grow dimmer

As I watched life and love passing me by

And the life I live is empty and so lonely

But you just lived for her and slowly let me die

You know she left me for another

So give her up, let her go, let it be

Dear heart, if you won’t stop beating for her

Then dear heart, stop beating for me

--- Instrumental ---

You know she left me for another

So give her up, let her go, let it be

Dear heart, if you won’t stop beating for her

Then dear heart, stop beating for me…
