(Harlan Howard)

I'm surrounded by silence tormented by dreams
Tortured by sweet words that you didn't mean
It's the stillness it's the silence that I can hardly take
For I can hear I can hear my heart break.

Now these arms are mighty lonesome guess they're missing you
And I have to admit it honey I miss you too
I sit here in the silence half asleep half awake
And I can hear I can hear my heart break.

--- Instrumental ---

Empty days without number lonely nights I can't bear
That old world's gone right on by me who's to know who's to care
I keep listening for your footsteps little sound you used to make
And I can hear I can hear my heart break.

My heart break...
