Lyrics:

(Kim Carnes/Donna Terry Weiss)



Looking back over the years

Of All the things I've always meant to say

But words didn't come easily

So many times through empty fears

Of all of the nights I tried to pick up the phone

So scared of who might be answering



You try to live your life from day to day

But seeing you across the room tonight

Just gives me away



Chorus:

Cause the heart won't lie

Sometimes life gets in the way

But there's one thing that won't change

I know I've tried

The heart won't lie

You can live your alibi

Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise

The heart won't lie



Long after tonight

Will you still hear my voice through the radio

Old desires make us act carelessly

Long after tonight, after the fire

After the scattered ashes fly

Through the four winds blown and gone

Will you come back to me?



You try to live your life from day to day

But seeing you across the room tonight

Just gives me away



Repeat Chorus:
