Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Anyone who ever loved could look at me
And know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed could look at me
And know I dream of you
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
Who couldn’t be another heart that hurt me?
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do?
Every time you go away I always say
This time it’s goodbye, dear
Loving you the way I do I take you back
Without you I’d die, dear
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
Who couldn’t be another heart that hurt me?
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do?
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
Who couldn’t be another heart that hurt me?
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
Anyone who had a heart would simply take me
In his arms and always love me, why won’t you?
Yeah, anyone who had a heart would love me too
Anyone who had a heart would simply take me
In his arms and always love me, why won’t you?
