Pins and Needles (In My Heart)
Hank Locklin · Please Help Me I'm Falling [Bear Family] [1995]
I know not where on earth to find you
I know not how or where to start
I only know I'm here without you
And there's pins and needles in my heart.
The days and nights are growing longer
Since first you said that we must part
But now I know I can't forget you
With these pins and needles in my heart.
--- Instrumental ---
I always see your face before me
Your smile is heaven's work of art
But now you're smiling at another
And there's pins and needles in my heart.
Someday somewhere I know I'll find you
And love will make the teardrops start
And then you'll know how long I've waited
With these pins and needles in my heart.
(With these pins and needles in my heart...)
