Broken Hearts Beat On - Porter Wagoner

When old clocks break

They won’t tell time

When toll bells shatter

They won’t chime

Hearts break in pieces

When love is gone

But broken hearts beat on

Boat springs a leak

And it won’t float

When poems don’t rhyme

They don’t get wrote

Hearts get walked on

Like stepping stones

But broken hearts beat on

When planes get broke

They won’t fly

When stars can’t hold on

They fall from the sky

Things like that

Make me wonder why

Broken hearts beat on

I can speak on that

With authority

You made a perfect

Example of me

Here I stand living proof

That proves to me

Broken hearts beat on

When planes get broke

They won’t fly

When stars can’t hold on

They fall from the sky

Things like that

Make me wonder why

Broken hearts beat on
