I left you long ago,
My life was mine alone,
Dreams chased and lost in a second square
Now was I to ever know,
All that shines, isn’t gold
Bright lights on the lonley road,
Now I’m missing you
Chorus:
And it’s my heartache, my heartache,
My heartache now
My heartache, my heartache now
Was too short and moved too fast,
So far ahead I finished last
Now I long for the again past to bring you home
Every breath, another song
Just regrets I did you wrong
A fool’s apology and now you’re gone,
And I’m on my own
Chorus:
And it’s my heartache, my heartache,
My heartache now
My heartache, my heartache,
My heartache now
My heartache, my heartache now
Oh, ah, I’m missing you.
Oh, I need you
Oh, I need you
Solo
Chorus:
And it’s my heartache, my heartache,
My heartache now
My heartache, my heartache,
My heartache now
My heartache, my heartache,
My heartache now
My heartache, my heartache now.

I know nobody ever taught you
How to dance like that
Nobody ever taught you
How to dance like that
Nobody ever taught me
How to dance like that
Heartache—too late
And i gotta get up
Heartache—too late
And i gotta get up
Heartache—too late
And i gotta get up
I know
I been workin’ twenty-five hours a day
I don’t want to live this way
Five and a half weeks with one day off
Stop the train i’m getting off
(orbison/dees)
1968 version
Tonight at midnight you came by
I shook my head, tried not to cry
Halfway weeping, halfway sleeping
Tossing, turning, trembling, burning
Here it comes, heartache
You wore your hair down
I love it that way
You reached out and touched me
And then you faded away
It’s unreal, the way i feel
It’s almost dawn and you are gone
Here it comes, heartache
Heartache of heartache
Deeper than blue
Teardrop on teardrop
I’m still in love with you
What a way to start a day
Here it comes, heartache over you
Heartache for you
Everytime you walk through my mind
I get that old heartache
1974 version
At night i try not to cry
Each tomorrow brings more sorrow
All the time you’re on my mind
My heart just aches, it almost breaks
It’s almost dawn, heartache
I know it’s over
But i don’t know why
You reached out and touched me
And then you said goodbye
Oh it’s unreal, the way i feel
It’s almost dawn the night’s too long
My dream is gone
I’m all alone with heartache
Heartache of heartache
Deeper than blue
Teardrop on teardrop
I’m still in love with you
Oh, what a way to start a day
Heartaches today like yesterday
Here comes the sun
No place to run from heart
