RIP my saintly, white-haired Mother, Bea; passed away at 93.

lyrics

THIS IS ONE MY HEART WON'T WIN © 2010 Jay Spears Music ASCAP

I used to voyage far from home: London Dublin Stockholm Rome.
From any window's view I knew, my heart would lead me home to you.

But now the bleak and dismal rain pelts my dreary window pane.
I know we'll never meet again. This is one my heart won't win,
This is one my heart won't win.

Plastic flowers we despise. Real roses' beauty lies
In blooming gorgeous to the eye,
And then they die, and when they die
They don't come back. So

I beg you, someone, prove me wrong I'll eat my words; I'll burn this song.
I know we'll never meet again. This is one my heart won't win,
This is one my heart won't win.

Instrumental

Plastic flowers we despise. Real roses' beauty lies
In blooming gorgeous to the eye,
And then they die, and when they die
They don't come back. So

I beg you, someone, prove me wrong I'll eat my words; I'll burn this song
I know we'll never meet again. This is one my heart won't win.
This is one my heart, this is one my heart,
This is one my heart won't win
