Harris Emmylou Heaven Only Knows Lyrics

Heaven Only Knows Lyrics

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  

  

 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  

  

 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  

  

 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  

  

 I'm going to turn and walk away  

 There's nothing left for me to say  

 It wouldn't change things anyway  

 Though, I suppose  

 The love I gave was always true  

 Well, I don't know what else to do  

 And how I'll ever get over you  

 Heaven only knows  

  

 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
