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.
