Only A Lonely Heart Knows - Barbara Mandrell

Life holds no fascination

Without you here with me

Each hour’s eternity

And friends are small consolation

Talk doesn’t ease the pain

The hurt can’t be explained

Only a lonely heart knows

How the memory cuts like a knife

Since you walked out of my life

I’m half crazy day and night

And only a lonely heart knows

How the heartache, it grows and grows

Oh, how long does it take till the heartache goes?

Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows

Time is a friend and an enemy

In time the hurt might end

Till then the walls close in

I’m so lost, I’m numbed by your leaving me

I sit alone and stare

You don’t know till you’ve been there

And only a lonely heart knows

How the memory cuts like a knife

Since you walked out of my life

I’m half crazy day and night

And only a lonely heart knows

How the heartache, it grows and grows

Oh, how long does it take till the heartache goes?

Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows

Tell me how long does it take till the heartache goes?

Only a lonely, only a lonely

Yes, only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows
