Dear heart there is something I must tell you
Something sad and so hard for me to say
For I know how much you always loved her
And how you always hoped that she'd come back someday
But day after day my hopes grow dimmer as I watched life and love passing me by
And the life I live is empty and so lonely
But you just lived for her and slowly let me die
You know she left me for another so give her up let her go let it be
Dear heart if you won't stop beating for her then dear heart stop beating for me
[ piano ]
You know she left me...
