Heartsong - Live

Lyrics

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
