Love Song

There’s a hole in my chest where my heart used to be

And I'm wishing on a star that it comes back to me

I could cry myself a river take a boat out of town

Snaking through the valley I would follow it down

I keep busy in the day and stay home at night

Cigarette smoking in the candlelight

Play another love song, it just don’t seem right

Lovers kissing in the dark and someone’s telling lies

But you got it now, and you don’t know how

The light's slowly fading and my heart just keeps on breaking

Sitting on the levee with a drink in my hand

Time is of the essence, you’re a wanted man

Mighty Mississippi bring my heart back to me

Say a little prayer it don’t float out to sea

Somewhere in the distance shines a heavenly light

Think I'm moving towards it then it’s out of sight

I keep looking in the mirror but it’s still not around

Moving through the night till what’s lost is found

But you got it now, and you don’t know how

The light's slowly fading and my heart just keeps on breaking
