Billy Ray Cyrus Words By Heart Lyrics

Words By Heart Lyrics

I went through the closet back in my old home

Found a letterman's jacket so
I slipped it on

Deep in the pocket still folded up tight

Was the letter
you wrote to tell me goodbye



The minute I saw it I just had to
smile

It smelled like old leather as smooth as a child

I took a deep
breath then put it away

There was no need to read it I knew just what it
would say



I know the words by heart, I know every line

From this
ain't easy to you'll get along just fine

I know every comma, every question
mark

No I don't have to look I know the words by heart



Seems like
home movies flash through my head

The homecoming game, that night on my
bed

The words that you wrote still cut me in two

How you said you still
cared but that we were through



I know the words by heart, I know every
line

From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine

I know every
comma, every question mark

No I don't have to look I know the words by
heart



Ain't it funny how a memory can play tricks on your mind

I
don't remember a thing from my classes but I can quote you every
line



I took off my jacket and put it away

With your note in the
pocket like I found it that day

Poured me a beer then pictured your
face

And drank a silent toast to things that time can't erase



I
know the words by heart, I know every line

From this ain't easy to you'll
get along just fine

I know every comma, every question mark

No I don't
have to look I know the words by heart



I know the words by heart, I
know every line

From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine

I
know every comma, every question mark

No I don't have to look I know the
words by heart



I know the words
