BEFORE MY HEART FINDS OUT Gene Cotton Well, you woke me from a dream about you Just to say that you were leaving I'm sleepy but I thought that you said That our love that will last forever is endin' Well before you walk out of my life Would you be especially quiet And don't let my heart know that you're leavin' Don't you say another word about it darlin' Don't you let my heart hear your footsteps walkin' out The door of my hopes and dreams And don't you let my heart know that you're leavin' Don't you say another word about it darlin' Leave me now before my heart finds out Well, I see you writing something down And leavin' it on the dresser And the tears in your eyes look a lot like mine But I guess it's all for the better Well before we say our last goodbye Baby won't you hold me just one more time (repeat chorus)
