The Heart Knows The Truth

(Michael Martin Murphey)

A man only sees what he wants to see

I saw you loving me

No ties to unwind no promises to bind

When the dawn set us free

 

One night of moonlight and roses

Was all I saw in you

A man only sees what he wants to see

But the heart knows the truth

Oh the heart knows the truth

 

A man only hears what he wants to hear

I heard me say goodbye

I didn't listen to what my heart whispered

I still wonder why

 

I told myself it didn't matter

That I'd forget about you

A man only hears what he wants to hear

But the heart knows the truth

Oooooooh oh the heart knows the truth

Oooooooh oh the heart knows the truth

 

A man only sees what he wants to see

I see you in my dreams

A man only hears what he wants to hear

I hear you call my name

 

Moonlight like mexican silver

Turns the red rose to blue

The night wind whispers you'll always be mine

But the heart knows the truth

Ooooooh oh the heart knows the truth

Ooooooh oh the heart knows the truth

Oh the heart knows the truth
