Heaven Only Knows lyrics

Artist  : Emmylou Harris 
Song : Heaven Only Knows
 

(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 

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
