The Heart Knows the Truth - Michael Martin Murphey

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
