heaven knows

she’s always on my mind

from the time i wake up ’til i close my eyes

she’s everywhere i go

she’s all i know

and though she’s so far away

it just keeps gettin’ stronger everyday

and even now she’s gone

i’m still holding on

so tell me where do i start

’cause it’s breaking my heart

don’t wanna let her go

maybe my love will come back some day

only heaven knows

and maybe our hearts will find a way

only heaven knows

and all i can do is hope and pray

’cause heaven knows

my friends keep tellin’ me

that if you really love her

you’ve gotta set her free

and if she returns in kind

i’ll know she’s mine

so tell me where do i start

’cause it’s breakin’ my heart

don’t wanna let her go

maybe my love will come back some day

only heaven knows

and maybe our hearts will find a way

only heaven knows

and all i can do is hope and pray

’cause heaven knows

why i live in despair

’cause wide awake or dreaming

i know she’s never there

and all this time i act so brave

i’m shaking inside

why does it hurt me so

maybe my love will come back some day

only heaven knows

and maybe our hearts will find a way

only heaven knows

and all i can do is hope and pray

’cause heaven knows

heaven knows...

why i live in despair
