Lyrics

IF NOT FOR THE SOUND OF HIS BREAKING HEART
If he could hear the angels singing
He would surely hear my heart calling
If he could heed my lonely heart beating
He would know just how much I love him
But the only sound he knows is the quiet lonesome humming
Of the freight train slowly carving it’s way through his heart
If he could hear the angels singing
He would surely hear my heart calling
If not for the sound, if not for the sound
If not for the sound of his breaking heart

I know that time, time is a healer
And his journey may be a long one
But I will be here when he calls me
I will be waiting, I’ll be waiting for that moment
When the only sound he hears is God’s heavenly angels
Guiding him home to witness the call of my heart
If he could hear the angels singing
He would surely hear my heart calling
If not for the sound, if not for the sound
If not for the sound of his breaking heart

If he could hear the angels singing
He would surely hear my heart calling
If he could heed my lonely heart beating
He would know just how much I love him
But the only sound he knows is the quiet lonesome humming
Of the freight train slowly carving it’s way through his heart
If he could hear the angels singing
He would surely hear my heart calling
If not for the sound, if not for the sound
If not for the sound of his breaking heart

If not for the sound, if not for the sound
If not for the sound of his breaking heart
If not for the sound of his breaking heart
