(Virginia Midgett - D.W. Orinich)

How long does it hurt when a heart breaks
How long can you stand the pain
How long does one dream when a dream die
And only the mem'ries remain.

It seems it must take forever
To forget the love you once knew
How long does it hurt when a heart breaks
How long must the heart ache for you.

--- Instrumental ---

How long does it hurt when a heart breaks
Oh, how many tears must fall
Before one is free from the chains
Of a love that's beyond all recall.

I keep saying soon I'll forget you
But somehow I'll never do
How long does it hurt when a heart breaks
As long as I keep loving you...
