BY HEART Patterson, Parvin & Hall Copyright 1999 Saw your girl down in Monterey On the beach in a mist of gray She didn't hear the waves She couldn't feel the spray Swirling round and round her footsteps by the bay CHORUS: And I thought I heard her singing softly to someone far away Just another case of love misplaced you know it happens every day And I don't need to know which sad songs are tearing her apart Some things you just know by heart Hard to say when it slipped off the track Such a waste of time when it's love that we lack She waits for his return You'd think that we would learn With time and love there's just no turning back CHORUS: And I thought I heard her singing softly to someone far away Just another case of love misplaced you know it happens every day And I don't need to know which sad songs are tearing her apart Some things you just know by heart Saw your girl down in Monterey On the shore of a sapphire bay The sea had been so kind And she had left behind The trail of tears the tide had washed away... (CHORUS) You know it by heart (REPEAT) |
