[Verse 1] Tomorrow i`ll be coming home i hope to find you all alone With open arms to greet me at the door You cried as i was led away it seems like only yesterday But after all these years i can`t be sure. [Bridge 1] While i`ve been dreaming dreams of you Not knowing what your going through I prayed that you`d remember me But i know life goes on you see. [Chorus 1] I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law.                [Verse 2] The man you knew don`t hurt no more my tears were shed behind locked door I`ve told myself you`ve gone a thousand times N.C Still when it got too much to bear i`d run my fingers through your hair N.C Your kissing lips were always on my mind. [Bridge 2] While i`ve been dreaming dreams of you Not knowing what your going through I prayed that you`d remember me But i know life goes on you see. [chorus 2] I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law.                          [verse 3] N.C So yesterday they set me free they gave me back my liberty N.C They gave me something else i can`t ignore N.C A chance to go back where i`m from a chance to even call upon N.C My friends but they don`t live there anymore. [Bridge 3] While i`ve been dreaming dreams of you Not knowing what your going through I prayed that you`d remember me But i know life goes on you see. [Outro Chorus Till Fade] I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law I broke your heart the day i broke the law.
