Hank Snow - Brand on My Heart lyrics

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 cherrish the love we once knew But darling that someone can only be you [ steel ] The flowers you planted that rose you loved best Its dark velvet petals are now closed in d**h 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
