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
