HEART ACHES
(Jack Norworth,   1919)


There are times when you're glad 
there are times when you're sad 
and life doesn't seem worth the while 
But we all get our share of sorrow and care 
there's a heart ache 'neath many a smile.

There are heartaches we know 
as the years come and go 
it seems we can never explain 
Why that ache seems to cling 
when gladness should bring 
all the sunshine and roses again.

There's the heart ache when someone's lonesome 
longing just for home sweet home 
There's the heart ache when someone's mother prays for one who chose to roam 
There's the heart ache when lover's quarrel 
And the tear drops start to fall 
But when you lose the one you're dreaming of 
that's the greatest heart ache of all.
