(Kim Carnes, Donna Terry Weiss)
|
Looking back over the years
|
Of All the things I've always meant to say
|
But words didn't come easily
|
So many times through empty fears
|
Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone
|
So scared of who might be answering
|
|
You try to live your life from day to day
|
But seeing you across the room tonight
|
Just gives me away
|
|
'Cause the heart won't lie
|
Sometimes life gets in the way
|
But there's one thing that won't change
|
I know I've tried
|
The heart won't lie
|
You can live your alibi
|
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
|
The heart won't lie
|
|
Long after tonight
|
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
|
Old desires make us act carelessly
|
Long after tonight, after the fire
|
After the scattered ashes fly
|
Through the four winds blown and gone
|
Will you come back to me?
|
|
You try to live your life from day to day
|
But seeing you across the room tonight
|
Just gives me away
|
|
'Cause the heart won't lie
|
Sometimes life gets in the way
|
But there's one thing that won't change
|
I know I've tried
|
The heart won't lie
|
You can live your alibi
|
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
|
The heart won't lie
|
