My Heart
Frankie Avalon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're breaking my heart 'cause you're leaving
You've fallen for somebody new
It isn't too easy believing
You'd leave after all we've been through

It's breaking my heart to remember
The dreams we depended upon
Your leaving is slow dying ember
I'll miss you my love when you're gone

I wish you joy though tear drops burn
But if some day you should care to return
Please hurry back and we'll make a new start
Til then you're breaking my heart

I wish you joy though tear drops burn
But if some day you should care to return




Please hurry back and we'll make a new start dear
Til then you're breaking my heart

Just ask your heart who dreams about you
Just ask your heart who's faithful and true
Someone who cares and won't make you blue
Just ask your heart who loves only you
Then you will find your true love will be
Someone who cares for you and wants to make you happy
Then when your heart say he loves only you
And when it says he won't make you blue
Then ask your heart if your love is true
Just ask his heart loves only you
Then you will find your true love will be
Someone who cares for you and wants to make you happy
Then when your heart say he loves only you
And when it says he won't make you blue
Then ask your heart if your love is true
Just ask his heart loves only you
Just ask his heart loves only you

Frankie Avalon was handsome, talented, and clean cut. Girls must have swooned over him back in the 50's. I know I would have if I was alive back then.

I have a new appreciation for these songs of so long ago. It was a time when life seemed simpler...less complex & challenging. Funny how our values change with age...it seems
inevitable!
