Dolly Parton Lyrics
"My Heart Started Breaking"

(Dolly Parton)

Love can make you feel just like you own the world
Or it can make you wish you've never seen it
The lips of one you love can give you cause for living
Or tell you things that never really mean it.

Once I had a love I thought that it was mine
Just thought to take it
And all at once he left and all at once
My heart started breaking breaking.

Judging by my love for him
I thought his love for me was just as strong
And all the things he told me
I really thought he meant them all along.

He had no plans to carry out
All his plans that we'd been making
'Cause all at once he left and all at once
My heart started breaking breaking.

Oh, all at once I realized love
Can be a cruel and hurtin' thing
It can fill your world with sunshine
But it can also bring you rain.

And I know where the clouds that gather
In my sunny sky of love
The rain came down he let me down
He left and my heart started breaking, breaking...
