Part of My Heart

(Bill Anderson)



I've tried to forget you by running and hiding

Burning down bridges and closing off doors

I guess it just took me a long time deciding

Part of my heart will always be yours.



My footsteps have wandered over mountains and valleys

My eyes have awakened on far distant shores

But nowhere on earth am I happy without you

Part of my heart will always be yours.



--- Instrumental ---



I know now I'll never erase you completely

I feel like a soldier returned from the wars

I fought a good fight but I loved you too deeply

And part of my heart will always be yours.



Our love was a flame once but now it's an ember

My heart has no strenght left for you were its source

Wherever you wake up tomorrow remember

Part of my heart will always be yours...
