I Can Hear My Heart Break

(Harlan Howard)



I'm surrounded by silence tormented by dreams

Tortured by sweet words that you didn't mean

It's the stillness it's the silence that I can hardly take

For I can hear I can hear my heart break.



Now these arms are mighty lonesome guess they're missing you

And I have to admit it honey I miss you too

I sit here in the silence half asleep half awake

And I can hear I can hear my heart break.



--- Instrumental ---



Empty days without number lonely nights I can't bear

That old world's gone right on by me who's to know who's to care

I keep listening for your footsteps little sound you used to make

And I can hear I can hear my heart break.



My heart break...
