"Heaven Knows" lyrics

She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up
'Til I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know

Though she's so far away
It just keeps getting stronger
Everyday, and even now she's gone
I'm still holding on

So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find their way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep telling me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine

But tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find their way
But only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

Why I live in despair?
'Cause while awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so?

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find their way
But only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

Heaven knows
Heaven knows
