BRAND ON MY HEART – by Willie Nelson

;
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
to make a new start,
And left as a mem’ry your
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 your
brand on my heart.
You say you were sorry it
ended this way
And that I’ll find someone
to love me someday,
Another to cherish the
love you once knew,
But darling that someone
can only be you.
The flowers you planted,
that rose you loved best
Its soft velvet petals are
now closed in death
The birds have hushed
singing, it all plays a part
To deepen the wound of
your 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
your brand on my heart.
