Dear heart, there is something I must tell you   Something sad and so hard for me to say   For I know how much you always loved her   And how you always hoped that she'd come back someday      But day after day my hopes grow dimmer   As I watched life and love passing me by   And the life I live is empty and so lonely   But you just lived for her and slowly let me die      You know she left me for another   So give her up, let her go, let it be   Dear heart, if you won't stop beating for her   Then dear heart, stop beating for me      You know she left me for another   So give her up, let her go, let it be   Dear heart, if you won't stop beating for her   Then dear heart, stop beating for me
