Don't Break the Heart That Loves You

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" is a song written by Benny Davis and Ted Murray, originally recorded by Connie Francis and produced by Arnold Maxin and Danny Davis for release on the MGM label. Recorded by Francis at the urging of her father, her version went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 31, 1962 for one week, becoming her third and final number one single.

The ballad, recorded by Francis in two-part harmony with a spoken bridge, is a plea from a heartbroken lover who is trying to make some sense from why her lover is going out of his way to treat her unkind. The song ends with her begging him not to break her heart.

In 1978, the ballad was recorded by country singer Margo Smith. Margo Smith's version of the song went to #1 on the Billboard Country charts that year. The song became one of Margo Smith's best known recordings.
