lyrics by Don Gibson originally recorded by Gibson for 'Sweet dreams' and Roy Orbison for 'Lonely and blue' (both 1960) ----------------------
If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game, I'd be a legend in my time. If they gave gold statuettes for tears and regrets, I'd be a legend in my time.
But they don't give awards, and there's no praise or fame For hearts that are broken for love that's in vain.
If loneliness meant world acclaim, Everyone would know my name I'd be a legend in my time.
