Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well darling I'm telling you now
Have I told you lately when I'm sleeping
Every dream I dream is you somehow?
Have I told you why the nights are long
Well darling I'm telling you now
My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling I'm telling you now
My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling I'm telling you now

Lyrics
I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been cryin' forever
And the stars in the sky
Don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, whoa, heart
If I stand all alone
Will the shadow hide the color of my heart?
Blue for the tears, black for the night's
Fears the stars in the sky
Don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart
I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke this old heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart
My heart
Oh, my heart

Love you, Rod!!
I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been cryin' forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this old heart...

Rod Stewart is priceless. Loved watching him perform and his voice is unforgettable. I’m 68 yrs old and whenever I hear this song I remember the pain of a broken heart. No one can compare.
