Before My Heart Finds Out

Gene Cotton

Well, you woke me from a dream about you

Just to say that you were leaving

I'm sleepy but I thought that you said

That our love that will last forever is endin'

Well before you walk out of my life

Would you be especially quiet



And don't let my heart know that you're leavin'

Don't you say another word about it darlin'

Don't you let my heart hear your footsteps walkin' out

The door of my hopes and dreams

And don't you let my heart know that you're leavin'

Don't you say another word about it darlin'

Leave me now before my heart finds out



Well, I see you writing something down

And leavin' it on the dresser

And the tears in your eyes look a lot like mine

But I guess it's all for the better

Well before we say our last goodbye

Baby won't you hold me just one more time

(repeat chorus)
