Lyrics

Broken Heart of Gold

Stephen A. Brunette


I see you're leavin'. You've shined your dancin' shoes.
Time to move on to somethin' new.
Find someone safe, let him down real slow,
sing an "I will always love you" song before you go.

Then keep in touch on special days - check in on old dreams.
Talk in memories of how it was, and how it seemed.
But don't tell me what's missin' in a new love you've found -
another heart of gold who won't be lost 'til he's been found, by you.

CHORUS:
Another broken heart of gold who'll never let you go.
A soul shines when there's nothin' left to know.
A broken heart of gold will always keep a home for two.
Alone is easier when it holds a place for you.

Wonderin' if you might have stayed a little long this time,
wonderin', if you stay, if you'll lose your heart in mine.
Wonderin' why you're feelin stuck in old habits and old games,
wonderin' if you'll ever change your ways, or change your name.

Wonderin' how the years have passed as fast as night and day,
wonderin' if you'll ever fall in love to stay.
Wonderin' why you always let the good ones get away,
Wonderin' if you find one now, how long you'd stay . . .

CHORUS
. . . to hold a heart of gold who'll never let you go.
A soul shines when there's nothin' left to know.
A broken heart of gold will always keep a home for two.
Alone is easier when it holds a place for you.

Wonderin' how the years have passed as fast as night and day,
wonderin' if you'll ever fall in love to stay.
Wonderin' why you always let the good ones get away,
Wonderin' if you find one now, what he would say.

CHORUS
He'd say a heart of gold will never let you go.
A soul shines when there's nothin' left to know.
A broken heart of gold will always keep a home for two.
Alone is easier when it holds a place for you.

This broken heart of gold will never let you go.
You let my soul shine, there's no heart I'd rather know.
This broken heart of gold will always keep a home for two.
Alone is easier when I hold a place for you.
