Jean Shepard - How Long Does It Hurt (When a Heart Breaks) lyrics

How long does it hurt when a heart breaks how long can you stand the pain How long does one dream when a dream die and only the mem'ries remain It seems it must take forever to forget the love you once knew How long does it hurt when a heart breaks how long must the heart ache for you How long does it hurt when a heart breaks oh how many tears must fall Before one is free from the chains of a love that's beyond all recall I keep saying soon I'll forget you but somehow I'll never do How long does it hurt when a heart breaks as long as I keep loving you
