Emmylou Harris
Heaven Only Knows
[Verse 1]
Every night it's the same
I feel your heart turn cold as rain
And know that you'll be gone again
I hear the front door close
You say you got to go downtown
I guess there's someone else you've found
So why you're still coming round
Heaven only knows

[Chorus]
Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry
Make me feel like I could die, that's the way it goes
Heaven only ever sees how love's made a fool of me
I guess that's how it's meant to be, but heaven only knows

[Verse 2]
I've heard it said that talk is cheap
But still your words they cut so deep
Lay me crying in my sleep
And the pain just grows
I don't know who's right or wrong
But all we had is dead and gone
So why you keep me hanging on
Heaven only knows
[Chorus]
Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry
Make me feel like I could die, that's the way it goes
Heaven only ever sees how love's made a fool of me
I guess that's how it's meant to be, but heaven only knows

[Verse 3]
I'm going to turn and walk away
There's nothing left for me to say
It wouldn't change things anyway
Oh, I suppose
The love I gave was always true
I don't know what else to do
And how I'll ever get over you
Heaven only knows

[Chorus]
Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry
Make me feel like I could die, that's the way it goes
Heaven only ever sees how love's made a fool of me
I guess that's how it's meant to be, but heaven only knows
