"If My Heart Had Windows" is 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 number seven on the Billboard Hot Country Singles charts.[1]
In 1968, crooner Andy Russell performed a cover version (Capitol #2072) that peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Singles Chart.[2]
Ernest Tubb also recorded a version on his 1968 Decca release Country Hit Time.
Connie Smith also recorded a version on her 1970 RCA release I Never Once Stopped Loving You.
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. Loveless's version was also a top-10 country hit — the first of her career — peaking at number 10 on the country music charts.[3] It was also the song that she performed the evening that she was inducted into the membership of the Grand Ole Opry.
