An old song on the radio, a faded dream from long ago A phone is ringin' but the message can't get through A whisper on the wind as the sun goes down A teardrop crashes to the ground and That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks Two people cryin' over broken vows A door slams shut on an empty house It echoes on down where the well is running dry Words lost in sentences we can't understand A ring is slippin' off my fingers and slippin' through my Hands, and That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks Blue notes on an old guitar, the silent fire of a distant star The unforgiving rhythm of November rain Rivers that are runnin' down a broken windowpane That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks
