My Heart Was The Last One To Know

  • Taking time you got by these defenses of mine
    Though I tried not to let you slip through
    And when you worked your way to the back of my mind
    It was too late to stop loving you

    For my eyes grew accustomed to looking at you
    And my arms found a body they hungered to hold
    And the rest of my senses surrendered to you
    But my heart was the last one to know

    Then my eyes saw the warnings they couldn’t believe
    And my lips felt your kiss growing cold
    And my ears heard the stories but kept them from me
    So my heart was the last one to know

    Now my eyes finally learned to stop looking for you
    And my arms slowly turned to another to hold
    They could sense you were something too good to be true
    But my heart was the last one to know

    Yes, the heart is last one to know Writer/s: KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, SHEL SILVERSTEIN
