Lyrics

I’ve got trouble with my foolish heart
It has me worried now and then
It must be romance again
Trouble caused by Mister Cupid’s dart
I recognize this feeling
That has my senses reeling

Chorus
Sweet heartache
An ache without any pain
I’m glad you’re back, sweet heartache
And I’m in love again
Sweet kisses from lips as eager as mine
Will add to my sweet heartache
And make it more divine
Why is it every time I look at you
I shake and tremble?
I resemble a ship in a gale
Without any sail
Oh, sweet heartache
You’re sent from heaven above
I’ll gladly stand this heartache
It means that I’ve found love
