James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter. With records charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music). Reeves scored his greatest success with the Joe Allison composition "He'll Have to Go". Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death.

CGFC I listened to an old friend describe the girl he'd met GCFC In memory I could see her heartbreak in Silhouette CGFC He said her hair was golden her eyes were violet GCFC It surely had to be her hearbreak in Silhouette CGFC He said that when he kissed her her kisses were like wine GCGFG And suddenly I wondered if she'd break his heart like mine CGFC But I sat there in silence and smoked my cigarette GCFC His heart would soon discover heartbreak in Silhouette CGFC With shining eyes he told me about the night they'd met GCFC My own heart kept remembering heartbreak in Silhouette CGFC Outside the rain kept falling recalling old regrets GCFC Then she stood in the doorway heartbreak in Silhouette CGFC At first she didn't see us because the lights were dim GCGFG As she chatted with her new love she had eyes for only him CGFC My friend sat that there in silence and not one word was said GCFCF Two broken hearts were sharing heartbreak in Silhouette heartbreak in C silhouette
