Heaven Only Knows Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Paul Kennerley) 

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. 

--- Instrumental --- 

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 

Till I don't know what else to do. 

And how I'll ever get over you, heaven only knows.
