Lyrics The Heart Knows the Truth - Michael Martin Murphey

The Heart Knows the Truth

Man only sees what he wants to see
I saw you loving me No ties to unwind, no promises to bind
When the dawn set us free
One night of moonlight and roses
Was all that I saw in you
Man only sees what he wants to see
But the heart knows the truth
Oh, the heart knows the truth
Man only hears what he wants to hear
I heard me say goodbye
I didn’t listen to what my heart whispered
I still wonder why
I told myself it didn’t matter
That I’d forget about you
A man only hears what he wants to hear
But the heart knows the truth
Ooh, oh, the heart knows the truth
Ooh, the heart knows the truth
Man only sees what he wants to see
Now I see you in my dreams
Man only hears what he wants to hear
I hear you call my name
Moonlight like Mexican silver
Turns the red rose to blue
The night wind whispers you’ll always be mine
But the heart knows the truth
Ooh, oh, the heart knows the truth
Ooh, the heart knows the truth
Oh, the heart knows the truth
Oh, the heart knows the truth
Oh, the heart knows the truth
Oh, the heart knows the truth
