Ricky Skaggs - When Lyrics

(Gilles Godard - Robert E. Orrall)

There's a cold rain falling on my window pane
Drop by drop it just won't stop spelling out your name
There's a wild wind howlin' chills me to the bone
All I can do is think of you and your heart of stone.

Every sleepless night I pray and hope it will be true
When I wake up in the morning I won't remember you
You say someday I'll forget you and fall in love again
Well if you're so smart won't you tell my heart when.

There's a full moon rising just like the one that shined
On the night you held me tight and told me you were mine
Now there's an empty feelin' where my heart used to be
The day I die I'll still ask why you walked out on me.

I spend every waking hour trying to let go
Won't somebody show me how I've just got to know
You say someday I'll forget you and fall in love again
Well if you're so smart won't you tell my heart when.

You say someday I'll forget you and fall in love again
Well, if you're so smart won't you tell my heart when
Tell me when...
