Lyr Req: Heartaches Just Walked In (Conway Twitty)

Can anyone let me have the lyrics for this one. I've got a version of it by Conway Twitty but think that it must have been written for a female singer. Anyone know who the writer/original artiste was?

Conway was all I found; just recordings and no lyrics online.

Thanks anyway Sorcha. If no-one comes up with anything I'll just have to sit and play it over and over again while I get the words down on the PC, but that takes time - the one thing that's in short supply at the moment. I'm just hoping that someone out there might be familiar with the song.

Jacqui, perhaps it might be easier on the CD/record, if you record it onto the computer, and play/replay it using the computer instead? Saves wear/tear on the recording or the mechanism.

I hope this is it. From this Conway Twitty Discography:

HEARTACHES JUST WALKED IN
(Conway Twitty)
(c) 1971 Twitty Bird Music

Sittin' in a dim cafe listenin' while the jukebox play
The songs I like to hear when I'm alone
Thinkin' of my wasted past wonderin' if someday at last
I win the sweetest love I've ever known
Then all at once I saw her arm in arm with my best friend
Heartbreak can't be far away cause heartaches just walked in

I watched her as she smiled at him and though the tiny lights were dim
I could see the love light shining in her eyes
With aching heart and trembling hand I stood and watched another man
Hold the girl I wanted for my wife
And as the teardrops started I thought of things that might have been
Heartbreak can't be far away cause heartaches just walked in

And then my poor heart skipped a beat she took the table next to me
She didn't even notice I was there
She looked around and just by chance our eyes met in a casual glance
She smiled and it was more than I could bare
How could she know the way I feel to her I'm just a friend
Heartbreak can't be far away cause heartaches just walked in

Jeri - you're an angel - that's just what I was looking for! Thanks.
