I was driving back from my weekly trip to the bank in Spring Valley, NY when I noticed a red object moving on the roadside - it was a Valentine balloon - and I immediately got the idea for the song, even writing the lyrics in my head as I made my way home.

ABANDONED HEART

C* Abandoned heart left all alone
Your feelings hurt, your fate unknown
Perhaps the wind will set you free
And maybe somehow
love will carry you to me

V1 Driving around on country roads
So overcome with grieving
I tried to shake the sadness of your leaving
And then I saw by the roadside
The red Valentine balloon
A child’s plaything someone tired of a little bit too soon

C* Abandoned heart left all alone
Your feelings hurt, your fate unknown
Perhaps the wind will set you free
And maybe somehow love will carry you to me

V2 Taken by such a pretty sight
I stopped the car right there
And ran to pluck the sweet heart from the air
But as I reached for the string
A light breeze snatched it away
And as it danced across an open field, I thought of yesterday

C* Abandoned heart left all alone
Your feelings hurt, your fate unknown
Perhaps the wind will set you free
And maybe somehow love will carry you to me

B* Although I’m full of sorrow
Apprehensive about tomorrow
I hope someday, but I don’t know when
If my broken heart will only mend
Then I will find love again

C* Abandoned heart left all alone
Your feelings hurt, your fate unknown
Perhaps the wind will set you free
And maybe somehow love will carry you to me
Abandoned heart
