HEART PLEASE BE STILL
(Ernest Tubb / Tommy Paige / Baby Stewart)

Ernest Tubb - 1947


Heart Please Be Still 
Don’t tell her you’re achin’
You’re pumping the tears into my eyes
She just mustn’t know the story of your breakin’
I can’t smile when part of me cries

When she played around 
I thought that she was jokin’
And when I learned the truth 
You had done been broken

So, Heart Please Be Still 
Don’t tell her you’re aching
You just mustn’t tell her on me

Ah come in Hal
Instrumentals – violin

Butterball now
Instrumentals – electric guitar

Heart Please Be Still 
Don’t tell her of your sorrow
I’m afraid that your beating is too loud
They say the night is long
Before the bright tomorrow
A silver lining to every cloud

Wish the cloud would break
Before she hears you’re pleading
I don’t want her to know
That she’s all I’m needing

So, Heart Please Be Still 
Don’t tell her you’re aching
You just mustn’t tell her on me
