Lyrics

Amelia told me she’s moving to New Orleans
How did I let it come to that
Tulane, beignets, blues, and Bourbon Street
I know I can’t compete with that

I’m about to be alone again
It’s the place for me it seems

Heaven knows if she’ll be back again
Life sure throws me curveballs I can’t hit
That’s how it goes when I’m giving my heart away
Will it just keep breaking,
While love keeps taking its time? … Only heaven knows

The days are longer, but the years keep flying by
I don’t want to settle for barely better
The way love comes and goes, and messes with my mind
I’m starting to wonder if it's ever forever

I’m about to be on my own again
It’s the price I pay for being me

Heaven knows if she’ll be back again
Life sure throws me curveballs I can’t hit
That’s how it goes when I’m giving my heart away
Will it just keep breaking,
While love keeps taking its time? … Only heaven knows

I’m about to be on my own again
It’s the price I pay for being me

Heaven knows if she’ll be back again
Life sure throws me curveballs I can’t hit
That’s how it goes when I’m giving my heart away
Will it just keep breaking,
While love keeps taking its time? …

Only heaven knows
Only heaven knows / oooh ooh ooh ooh
Amelia search your heart
Just stop breaking mine
