Jack Jones - Race Is On lyrics

I feel tears well in up from deep inside Like my heart's goin' to break And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful That I may never shake You might say that I was takin' it hard Since you gave me the final goodbye But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and cry Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back They're tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin' What the final results would be How I lived in fear of wakin' up each mornin' And find that you're gone from me There's ache and pain in my heart For the name of the one that I'll never replaced Somebody new came up to win her And I came out in second place Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back They're tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all
