O' Broken Heart, Tis Now Thy Time To Mend
O' Broken Heart, Tis Now Thy Time To Mend
Decades past, when free love was all the rage
we were not told, bait for the golden cage.
In our race to grab wild hearts from the skies
we ate the sweet dessert and believed the lies.
O' lasting regret, where does thy pain dwell
when my body sleeps, my soul is in hell.
Years ago, my pride led me so far astray
now these later years cause me to kneel to pray.
O' broken heart, tis now thy time to mend
life is not over, time can be thy friend.
Sing again, love can return with its sweet glee
soft kisses, her loving hands can set me free.
Future promise, grace me with clear new skies
send no more tears to flood with my saddened cries.
