(Conway Twitty)

Sittiin' in a dim cafe listenin' while the jukebox play
The songs I like to hear when I'm alone
Thinkin' of my wasted past wonderin' if someday at last
I win the sweetest love I've ever known.

Then all at once I saw her arm in arm with my best friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in
I watched her as she smiled at him
And though the tiny lights were dim

I could see the love light shining in her eyes
With aching heart and trembling hand
I stood and watched another man
Hold the girl I wanted for my wife.

And as the teardrops started
I thought of things that might have been
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in

--- Instrumental ---

And then my poor heart skipped a beat
She took the table next to me
She didn't even notice I was there
She looked around and just by chance
Our eyes met in a casual glance

She smiled and it was more than I could bare
How could she know the way I feel
to her I'm just a friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in...
