Een countrynummer dat een daverende crossoverhit werd. Eerst het origineel van Ray Price, 1959.
Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay
Now I’ve got heartaches by the number, troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes, I’ve got heartaches by the number, a love that I can’t win
But the day that I’ll stop counting
That’s the day my world would end
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were 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 number, troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more
Now I’ve got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
But the day that I’ll stop counting
That’s the day my world will end
Heartaches by the number
En de hit van Guy Mitchell, ook 1959
