(Kim Carnes, Donna Terry Weiss)
Looking back over the years
Of All the things I've always meant to say

But words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone

So scared of who might be answering

You try to live your life from day to day

But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away


'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change

I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi

Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie


Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly

Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone

Will you come back to me?

You try to live your life from day to day

But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away


'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change

I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi

Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie
