Heartsong - Live

A heartsong melody plays like a symphony

The sweetest music I have ever known

A song of joy and pain the mountain angels sing

A bittersweet refrain of my Smoky Mountain home

Heartsong

Farmer's daughter if you will

And I often wonder still

In memories where I rambled as a child

Makes me cry and makes me laugh

My reflections on the past

And the family, friends and faith that shaped my life

Ragged clothes and hand-me-downs

Just enough to go around

But the sweetest things in life are always free

Like the songs the birds would sing

And the sweet new grass of spring

And the sacred blossoms on the dogwood tree

A heartsong melody plays like a symphony

The sweetest music I have ever known

A song of joy and pain the mountain angels sing

A bittersweet refrain of my Smoky Mountain home

Heartsong

And I recall the thrill and joy

Of a Smoky Mountain boy

I remember my first kiss and my first love

And the songs I'd song and write

And the dreams I'd clutch so tight

And the loved ones that gave me that extra shove

And in that little house 'a prayer

Where I spent many hour

Praisin' God and liftin' up His name

And asking Him to lead

And to keep watch over me

As I headed up that rocky road to fame

And now this, Smoky Mountain girl has been all around the world

But it makes no difference just how far I roam

I still cling to that part that is so dear to my heart

My faith in God and memories of home

A heartong melody plays like a symphony

The sweetest music I have ever known

A song of joy and pain the mountain angels sing

A bittersweet refrain of my Smoky Mountain home

Heartsong
