Porter Wagoner - Broken Hearts Beat On lyrics

BROKEN HEARTS BEAT ON

Writer Damon Black

] WHEN OLD CLOCKS BREAK THEY WON'T TELL TIME WHEN TOLL BELLS SHATTER THEY WON'T CHIME HEARTS BREAK IN PIECES WHEN LOVE IS GONE BUT BROKEN HEARTS BEAT ON BOAT SPRINGS A LEAK AND IT WON'T FLOAT WHEN POEMS DON'T RHYME THEY DON'T GET WROTE HEARTS GET WALKED ON LIKE STEPPING STONES BUT BROKEN HEARTS BEAT ON WHEN PLANES GET BROKE THEY WON'T FLY WHEN STARS CAN'T HOLD ON THEY FALL FROM THE SKY THINGS LIKE THAT MAKE ME WONDER WHY BROKEN HEARTS BEAT ON I CAN SPEAK ON THAT WITH AUTHORITY YOU MADE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF ME HERE I STAND LIVING PROOF THAT PROVES TO ME BROKEN HEARTS BEAT ON WHEN PLANES GET BROKE THEY WON'T FLY WHEN STARS CAN'T HOLD ON THEY FALL FROM THE SKY THINGS LIKE THAT MAKE ME WONDER WHY BROKEN HEARTS BEAT ON
