Pitney, Gene - Half-Heaven, Half-Heartache Lyrics






My arms reach out for you I kiss you tenderly
But when you touch my lips you're kissing him not me, why must it be
Half heaven, half heartache, my lovin' you, darlin'
Can't you forget that other love you knew, hmm

Within your angel eyes a world of dreams are there
Yet I'll keep wondering if they are mine to share, oh it's just not fair
Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'
Oh let my love be strong enough to take away the heartache
And make my life a heaven on earth with you-ou-oo-ou

Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'
Oh let my love be strong enough to take away the heartache
And make my life a heaven on earth with you-ou-oo-oo-ou

  42. T.... T....

    I had an old RCA alarm clock that had a 45 RPM player, and I used to wake up to Half Heaven, Half Heartache everyday when I was in 11th grade, circa 1973. It's still one of my favorites some 45 years later.

    T.... T....

    When I broke up with a girlfriend summer of 1970 I played this everyday. Brokenhearted me...

    T.... T....

    I did similar, but with Honest I Do by the Innocents.

  43. l.... s....

    heel mooi

  44. S.... a....

    R.I.P Gene/Lucky to have been at Westbury Music Fair /last chance to exit

  45. J.... E....

  47. J.... W....

    WE HAVE LOST A MUSICAL GENIUS RIP GENE

  48. D.... E....

    Superb. What a voice Gene had.

  49. B.... L....

    he had such vocal range, loved this

    B.... L....

    Yes, amazing voice. The other voice that astounded me was Jay Black from Jay and the Americans, especially on Cara Mia. Powerful. If anyone wants to hear a fun “Philly sound”, search out WPLJ (White Port Lemon Juice). Fabulous shore memories.

  50. L.... o....

    Darling Gene, his voice was so clear and strong and I truly regret that I never saw him live.  Still love his music.

  51. A.... s....

    A Wally Gold, Aaron Schroeder and George Goehring song.
    Thanks for sharing.

  52. T.... ....

    Better than Tulsa.

  53. S.... P....

    Glad this is an artist my parents saw fit to play when I was a little boy

  54. L.... S....

    Includes classic whining teenager phrase "it's just not fair!" in the lyrics. I laugh every time I hear it.

  55. v.... ....

    This has a Roy Orbison feel to it (though Roy would've sung it at a slower tempo, without a chorus); I often wonder whether Gene wrote this with Orbison in mind.

    v.... ....

    vp81955 Gene did not write this one, but he sure sang it extraordinarily well.

  56. A.... F....

    6th grade dance Cullen Jr High. His name was Mike. Wonderful !

  57. J.... S....

    i got your voice after 1 year training ... Gene is the  Master!

  58. G.... A....

    I remember listening to this song with my cousins when I was a tiny little girl. I loved this song then, I still love it! Thanks for sharing

    G.... A....

    +Ginny Alexander you have very good taste ginny

    G.... A....

  59. S.... S....

    One of the greatest male vocalistis of all times...

    I wished he could have lived forever sining and writing songs...

  60. S.... T....

    A singing music legend in his own time. We miss and love you Gene. Sing with the angels.

    S.... T....

  63. M.... ....

    One of the Best Singers in the early Sixties. Rest in Peace, Gene..

  64. J.... S....

    Way up high on the best male vocalists chart. Not many better.

    J.... S....

    Only Roy Orbison me thinks...

  65. J.... V....

    This guy had a beautiful voice!! That soaring tenor was unmatched....no one sounded like him...he had no competition.

    Yet, he was humble...and a terrific showman. Always dressed nicely and conducted himself as a true gentleman. He appreciated his audience and loved performing!
