About The Song

“That’s When Your Heartaches Begin” is a song written by Fred Fisher and first popularized by The Ink Spots in 1941. Elvis Presley recorded the song on at least three occasions during the 1950s, and his version is one of the most well-known recordings of the song.

The song is a ballad about the pain of heartbreak. The lyrics describe the feeling of betrayal when a lover is found in the arms of a friend. The song also describes the pain of letting go of a dream of a lifetime.

The song is a classic example of Presley’s ability to connect with his audience on an emotional level. The lyrics are simple and direct, but they are also full of feeling. Presley’s vocal performance is equally powerful, and he conveys the pain of heartbreak with a sense of authenticity that is both moving and convincing.

Lyrics

If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of a friend
That’s when your heartaches begin
When dreams of a lifetime
Must come to an end
That’s when your heartaches begin

Love is a thing
You never can share
When you bring a friend
Into your love affair
That’s the end of your sweetheart
That’s the end of your friend
That’s when your heartaches begin

If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of your best friend
Brother, that’s, that’s when your heartaches begin
And you know, when all of your dreams
When all of your dreams of a lifetime, must all come to an end
Well, that’s, that’s when your heartaches begin

You see love is a thing that
That you never can share
And when you bring a friend
When you bring a friend into your love affair
That’s the end of your sweetheart
That’s the end of your friend
That’s the when your heartaches begin
