Price, Ray - Heartaches By The Number Lyrics






Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you come back again
You came back and never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the numbers, troubles by the score
Every day you love me less, each day I love you more
Yes, I've got heartaches by the numbers, a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting, that's the day my world will end

Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you was coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the numbers, troubles by the score
Every day you love me less, each day I love you more
Yes, I've got heartaches by the numbers, a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting, that's the day my world will end

  11. e.... f....

    still like it after all these years, since it came out, January 2020.  a good song and singer survive the decades and the centuries.   I can remember hearing this on a neighbour's radio as a kid.

    But am looking for another of his songs, something to do with "Why did you lie to me"
    Anybody got a link?

    b.... i....

    With the hundreds of songs, none by that title, that he has sung it will be a job to find the song you seek but maybe this link will help you . Good luck.

    and also here's a "seemingly forgotten" great song about "lies".

  59. P.... P....

    You can't beat good old country

  60. P.... b....

    Heartaches by the number ...have to stop counting ...

  61. F.... M....

    They called him the Master. They weren't wrong. He helped so many Country Music Artists get their start. What a great voice this man had.

  62. j.... l....

    Great singer/ What a voice!

  63. l.... u....

    Anybody remember snowball or broom dancing when you changed partners in middle of song? They played this, stopped and you had to take nearest person and start dancing again? Sometimes you got the broom which was the better partner

  64. g.... s....

    There is nothing that fills your heart more than these old country standards. Chill bumps and tears for sure. Ray Price had a voice that soared. I DO hope young people are listening too. Wow...what they're missing listening to today's country that all sounds the same and moves your soul about as much as 10W-30 flows in January.

  65. S.... A....

    Sinatra couldn't hold a candle to Ray Price.

  66. L.... A....

    WHAT can I say.....🎤🎼🔊🔊🔊WOUNDERFUL love THIS ONE 👍❤❤❤

  67. G.... F....

    RAY WAS A FINE COUNTRY SINGER,THIS SONG HAS BEAUTIFUL LYRICS,,,,,

  68. M.... B....

    Any young folks NOT here from video games?

  69. M.... B....

    I don't care if I'm 14 & hearing this. Any other young folks listening to this?

  70. R.... A....

    Excellent.

  71. M.... B....

    Ear worm much?

  72. M.... B....

    OMG brainstorm moment. I just thought of something: does it seem like nowadays EVERYTHING about this America defining genre is electronic? I don't mean the Electric Guitar kind either

  73. M.... B....

    Any young buckaroos like myself listening to this besides me? lol

  74. G.... F....

    SWING YOUR HONEY TO THIS LOVELY TUNE,,,,,

  75. G.... D....

    These songs get in bedded in your Brain at 15 and stay there until one minute after you are dead.

  76. L.... D....

    I used to see him Dallas Texas at the big longhorn dance hall ,early 50to60 he has been one off the best.LeeDaley

  77. W.... M....

    My husband and I danced and sang this song over and over and over.

  78. D.... M....

    And a thumbs up to the writer Harlan Howard.

  79. S.... ....

    Need songs similar to this

  80. C.... P....

    I first heard this touching song in 1959 when I was eleven years old . When I listened to the song today it still has the passion and empathy and is painfully moving. Ray Price sings with great feeling. A man that understands Love and Loss. We neeed more men like Ray - a true/great artist that understands the Human condition and can communicate through Song and Music. .The Voice the Passion the Truth.

  81. M.... A....

    Where have these kinds of country artists gone ?
    Hank Sr. George Jones , Merle. Haggard .
    Your right George , who's gonna feel their shoes ?

    M.... A....

    @LetsDoThis 15 I think I said it .( Lots of reasons no 1- poor leadership .look at Congress and all there crimes and no one is ever held accountable ..Bible says that when the leaders run over the people .the people suffer .also says good wine an food makes the heart rejoice .when politicians are so evil they rob steal cut the poor man's throat .your families are starving homeless abounds pollution drinking toilet water food polluted all the gov thinks about is how much can they rob the poor for . Where the joy in this type of atmosphere .nada .there is nothing to look forward to . No hope .when God is taken out of the land and morals There nothing left .!!

    M.... A....

    I understand, well at least smile when you read this so I don't lose hope :)

    M.... A....

    @LetsDoThis 15 Don't loose Hope Better days ahead .! But you have to put your trust in God not man . He's going to fix every thing in his time ..He set a day to judge the Earth and restore it back to its original position .!! Ecll saysGod made everything perfect in it's time. and Gen .says after God finished his work .God says Every thing he made perfect Satan the father of the lie and wicked people made this mess out of God's beautiful creation .. Book of Rev Says here I am going to destroy those destroying my Earth any time now God will intervene in man's affairs .and destroy all this mess and make the entire world back into a Paradise For the the People that want to love and obey God from their Hearts .!!

    M.... A....

    @Jualine Sadler as a son of God trusting parents, amen :)

    M.... A....

    @LetsDoThis 15 man cannot guide his own foot steps we need God's guidance Because He created us and he owns us .our lives is in his hands !!yes parents have there job .but how many know what God requires of us .?? And how many are walking in Jesus footsteps ..Jesus Set A patter for all people to follow . Paradise is coming soon ..

  82. J.... W....

    Save America. TRUMP 2020!

  83. j.... w....

    My heart aches 4 you.

  84. �.... ....

    Makes me want to play some fallout new vegas
