"I Just Heard A Heart Break" lyrics

I Just Heard A Heart Break

I felt you slip from the covers
Of our big four poster bed
I heard you dial the telephone
Saw you shake your worried head
I watched you dress
In total darkness
You've never done that before
Daylight seemed so far away
As you gently closed the door

I saw the light beneath the door
As you tiptoed to the car
I heard you leave so quietly
Oh, you surely won't go far
I stayed awake
And watch the day break
Then I waited through the day
Oh, you'll be back
I know you will
You've never stayed away

Or have I just heard a heart break?
What was that awful sound?
Does it seem like crashing thunder
Or just a teardrop
Falling down?

When it happens
Can you hear it
Or just feel it deep inside?
I think I just heard a heart break
And I'm so afraid it's mine

I think I just heard a heart break
And I'm so
I'm so afraid it's mine
