This heart hears the telephone ringing; this heart's gonna let it go 'Cause this heart knows the bells she's hearing aren't the telephone This heart has heard your laughter; this heart has learned how to smile This heart'll be a true believer if you'll stay awhile
This heart was stranded in the winter Was stuck out in a blizzard in its summer clothes This heart knows when the love comes and when it goes
EEAB7 [instrumental] EEAB7EEAB7 This heart, this heart, this heart; this heart, this heart, this heart EEAB7 [instrumental]
This heart was stranded in the winter Was stuck out in a blizzard in its summer clothes This heart knows when the love comes and when it goes
This heart was almost taken, and this heart was born feet running This heart hears a telephone ringing, gonna let it go This heart, this heart, this heart; this heart, this heart, this heart
