heaven knows

He's always on my mind
From the time I wake up
'Til I close my eyes
He's everywhere I go
He's all I know

And though he's so far away

It just keeps gettin' stronger, every day

And even now he's gone

I'm still holding on

So tell me where do I start

'Cause it's breakin' my heart

Don't want to let him go

Maybe my love will come back some day

Only heaven knows

And maybe our hearts will find a way

Only heaven knows

And all I can do is hope and pray

'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep tellin' me

That if you really love him

You've gotta set him free

And if she returns in kind

I'll know He's mine

So tell me where do I start

'Cause it's breakin' my heart

Don't want to let him go

Why I live in despair

'Cause wide awake or dreaming

I know he's never there

And all the time I act so brave

I'm shaking inside

Why does it hurt me so
