Brand on My Heart Songtext
von Willie Nelson & Hank Snow

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 memory 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
It′s 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
