Lyrics
Memories just repeat like melodies so sweet,
Now they're sad notes that leave bitterness on each beat.
I can't escape this heartache, its wrapped around so tight,
Every thought of you makes it hard to sleep at night.
Why does my heart break every time I hear your name,
Like a song playing softly, haunting me with the shame.
I thought we could last forever, but now I don't know what to say,
Just crying for your love, baby, and feeling my heart break.
I'll scream into the night, wont you hear my plea?
We're so far apart my love, won't you set me free?
Every tear that I cry, every song that I hear,
Take's me back to when there was nothing to fear.
Why does my heart break every time I hear your name,
Like a song playing softly, haunting me with the shame.
I thought we could last forever, but now I don't know what to say,
Just crying for your love, baby, and feeling my heart break.
So I'll remember you always in every dance,
Wanting to let go of us, not taking the chance.
With every beat of my heart I know it's too late,
But still I'm left here wondering why my heart breaks?
Why does my heart break every time I hear your name,
Like a song playing softly, haunting me with the shame.
I thought we could last forever, but now I don't know what to say,
Just crying for your love, baby, and feeling my heart break.

Beautiful song, with your signature harmony vocals. But I must admit, that I am beginning to miss your "old" voice :0) This could have been a major hit in the 1980's. Timeless tune and lyrics that come right from the heart.
