(Nelson Mandrell) Oh, it seems the sun will never shine The skies are so gray And the heart you left broken is lonely The winter wind blows through the trees And with the song I sing I long for the days you loved me only. Sorrow lingers Shadows only fill the empty room Nights of lonely cries unheard In the winter of a broken heart. Oh, the nights will never be the same As when the love was new Young hearts so tender in their yearning But seasons change and lovers too And winter's twice as cold But the fire in one heart is always burning. Sorrow lingers Shadows only fill the empty room Nights of lonely cries unheard In the winter of a broken heart. Though a million hours pass the time And lonely is the pain And what was love is just a spell that's broken So blow the wind and freeze the rain And try like lover's do Seems our hearts have never really spoken. Sorrow lingers Shadows only fill the empty room Nights of lonely cries unheard In the winter of a broken heart...
