Eyes that stay awake until the day is dawning

Tears that break my heart in two

Chains that bind my heart inside me

And that's what I get for loving you



Arms that reach out in the darkness

To hold the love that once was true

Only memories to haunt me

And that's what I get for loving you



That's what I get for believing

That is all I trust in heart a love will never do

All I have is just a picture

And that's what I get for loving you

[ fiddle - piano ]

Afraid that someday I might see you

While you're holding someone new

Afraid my heart will fall to pieces

And that's what I get for loving you



A path that should be just forgotten

Is all my heart is clinging to

There's no hope for your returning

And that's what I get for loving you



It's the worth that I am paying

Should I live my heart keeps trusting you

I know my heart is only waiting

And that's what I get for loving you
