Heartache Just Walked In

Sittiin' in a dim cafe,

Listenin' while the jukebox play

The songs I like to hear when I'm alone.



Thinkin' of my wasted past,

wonderin' if someday at last

I win the sweetest love I've ever known.



Then all at once I saw her,

Arm in arm with my best friend

Heartbreak can't be far away,

'Cause heartaches just walked in.



I watched her as she smiled at him

And though the tiny lights were dim.

I could see the love light

Shining in her eyes.



With aching heart and trembling hand

I stood and watched another man

Hold the girl I wanted for my wife.



And as the teardrops started

I thought of things that might have been.

Heartbreak can't be far away

'Cause heartaches just walked in.



--- Instrumental ---



And then my poor heart skipped a beat

She took the table next to me

She didn't even notice I was there.



She looked around and just by chance

Our eyes met in a casual glance

She smiled and it was more than I could bare.



How could she know the way I feel

To her I'm just a friend

Heartbreak can't be far away

'Cause heartaches just walked in...
