Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

More Than This Old Heart Can Take

You walk into his arms before my very eyes

You can't even wait to be somewhere alone

The ties that bind have broken loose and I'm about to break

Loving you is more than this old heart can take

There was a place in time when I was always on your mind

And now I'm nothing more than just a fool

I thought that I was strong enough to live with my mistake

But loving you is more than this old heart can take

I don't know what's kept my mind from going crazy

But when you laugh at me it's more than I can stand

And when you're dancing with someone too close it causes me to shake

Loving you is more than this old heart can take

Hey, loving you is more than this old heart can take
