The heartache
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shadows falling in the noonday sun
Blue feeling to the maximum
Look what happens when you love someone
And they don't love you
The heartache
The risk you run
The chance you take
When you love someone
And the sorrow
For the lonely one
When the heartache comes
Never thought I'd be alone like this
Guess I should have been a realist
That's the trouble with relationships
They end too soon
The heartache
The risk you run
The chance you take
When you love someone
And the sorrow
For the lonely one
When the heartache comes
And the darkness falls
And the rain comes down
In the midst of spring
There's a sadness in the heart of things
The heartache
The risk you run
The chance you take
When you love someone
And the sorrow
For the lonely one
When the heartache comes
Shadows falling in the noonday sun
Blue feeling to the maximum
