Brand On My Heart Lyrics - Hank Thompson

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
