BRAND ON MY HEART

(Hank Snow)

« © '50 Hill & Range Songs »

My troubled old heart dear is beating with pain

You've gone and I know I'm the one who's to blame

You've gone in the world dear to make a new start

And left as a mem'ry you're brand on my heart

They say you were crying while packing your things

And left me your locket and bright golden rings

The plans for your future I've broken apart

Now all I have left is you're brand on my heart

You say you are sorry it ended this way

And that I'll find someone to love me someday

Another to cherish the love we once knew

But darling that someone can only be you

The flowers you planted that rose you loved best

Its dark velvet petals are now closed in death

The birds have hushed singing it all plays a part

To deepen the wound of you're brand on my heart

I'm appealing to you for forgiveness today

For all of your tears darling I've had to pay

If you'll just forgive me we'll make a new start

And no more will I carry you're brand on my heart
