Brand on My Heart

My troubled old heart dear is

Beating with pain

Youve gone and I know Im the one

Whos to blame

Youve gone in the world dear

To make a new start

And left as a memry youre 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

Ive broken apart

Now all I have left is youre brand

On my heart

You say you are sorry it ended this way

And that Ill find someone

To love me someday

Another to cherrish 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 youre

Brand on my heart

Im appealing to you for

Forgiveness today

For all of your tears darling

Ive had to pay

If youll just forgive me well
Make a new start

And no more will I carry youre
Brand on my heart
