Songtexte How Long Does It Hurt - Jean Shepard

How long does it hurt
When a heart breaks?
How long can you stand the pain?
How long does one grieve
When a dream dies
And only the memories remain?

It seems it must take forever
To forget a love you once knew
How long does it hurt
When a heart breaks?
How long must my my 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 never do
How long does it hurt
When a heart breaks?
As long as I keep lovin' you.
