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 your hopes have grown dim
As you watched life and love passing by
And the life you now live is empty and so lonely
But you just lived for her and slowly die
You know she left me for something better
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
