Heartbreak in Silhouette
Heartbreak in Silhouette
By Jim Reeves
CG7FC
I listened to an old friend describe the girl he'd met
G7CFC
In memory I could see her heartbreak in silhouette
G7FC
He said her hair was golden her eyes were violet
G7CFC
It surely had to be her heartbreak in silhouette
G7FC
He said that when he kissed her her kisses were like wine
G7CG7FG7
And suddenly I wondered if she'd break his heart like mine
CG7FC
But I sat there in silence and smoked my cigarette
G7CG7C
His heart would soon discover heartbreak in silhouette
G7FC
With shining eyes he told me about the night they'd met
G7CFC
My own heart kept remembering heartbreak in silhouette
G7FC
Outside the rain kept falling recalling old regrets
G7CFC
Then she stood in the doorway heartbreak in silhouette
G7FC
At first she didn't see us because the lights were dim
G7CFG7
As she chatted with her new love she had eyes for only him
CG7FC
My friend sat that there in silence and not one word was said
G7CFC
Two broken hearts were sharing heartbreak in Silhouette
