If My Heart Had Windows (George Jones Song)

"If My Heart Had Windows" is the title of a country song written by Dallas Frazier and recorded by George Jones in 1967 on his album of the same name. Released as a single that year, Jones's version peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles charts.

Twenty-one years after the original version, Patty Loveless recorded a cover of the song on her 1987 album, also entitled If My Heart Had Windows.

It was also the song she sang the night she was inducted into the membership of the Grand Ole Opry.

Famous quotes containing the words heart, windows and/or jones:

    Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies,
    My love should shine on you like to the Sun,
    And look upon you with ten thousand eyes,
    Till heaven wax’d blind, and till the world were done.
    Whereso’er I am,—below, or else above you—
    Whereso’er you are, my heart shall truly love you.
    Joshua Sylvester (1561–1618)

    The house of my body has spoken
    often as you rebuild me like blocks,
    and promise to come visit
    when I’m finally adjusted on safe land,
    and am livable, joist to joist
    with storm windows and screens ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I believe that no man who holds a leader’s position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)
