Reba Nell McEntire (born on March 28, 1955) is a Grammy Award-winning singer and one of the best-selling country music performers of all time, known for her pop-tinged ballads that include 22 #1 hits. She has issued 29 albums, with more than 45 million records sold as of 2006. With a contract to Mercury Records, McEntire began her professional career with a hard honky tonk sound, which didn't go over well at a time when country music was dominated by outlaw country artists like Willie Nelson and David Allan Coe. "Three Sheets in the Wind"/"I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" became her first charting single in 1978 (see 1978 in music), and was followed by the bigger hit "(You Lift Me) Up to Heaven" (1980, 1980 in music). With more pop-oriented balladry, McEntire began to expand her audience during the early 1980s, signing to MCA Records in 1984 (see 1984 in music) and becoming one of the best-selling country artists of all time, releasing three volumes of greatest hits collections.

For My Broken Heart Lyrics
Reba Mcentire
(liz hengber, keith palmer)
There were no angry words at all
As we carried boxes down the hall
One by one we put them in your car
Nothing much for us to say
One last goodbye and you drove away
I watched your tail-lights
As they faded in the dark
I couldnt face the night in that lonely bed
So I laid down on the couch instead
Chorus:
Last night I prayed the lord my soul to keep
Then I cried myself to sleep
So sure life wouldnt go on without you
But oh this sun is blinding me
As it wakes me from the dark
I guess the world didnt stop
For my broken heart
Clocks still tickin, life goes on
Radio still plays a song
As I try to put my scattered thoughts in place
And it takes all the strength Ive got
To stumble to the coffee pot
The first of many lonely mornings Ive got to face
You call to see if Im ok
Look out the window and I just say
Repeat chorus
I guess the world aint gonna stop
For my broken heart
