Jim Reeves (1923 - 1964), known affectionately as 'Gentleman Jim', was a country singer known for his velvety voice. Through his unique style, which fused the laidback style of crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with country material, he brought country music to a whole new audience. He was also one of the first to bring country music to places outside of America, gaining widespread popularity in Britain, Europe, South Africa and India. His prolific career was cut tragically short in 1964 by a plane crash. However, even after his death, his popularity did not wane and he continued to have hits some years after his death, with previously unreleased songs and remastered earlier material.

I Heard A Heart Break Last Night Lyrics
Jim Reeves
I heard the pitter patter
Of a slow winter rain
I heard the lonesome whistle
Of a far away train.
As I sat in the silence
Broken only by a train
I heard a heartbreak last night.
Oh, how you cried
When we said goodbye
As we stood at
The station in the rain
And a whisper was saying
From a pine tree close by
When we heard
The whistle of your train.
I heard the moans of sobbing
Of the wind in the sign
I felt the cold icy finger
Of fear from the spine.
For I knew in my heart
You'd never be mine
And I heard a heartbreak last night.
For I knew in my heart
You'd never be mine
And I heard a heartbreak last night...
