THE HEART NOT TAKEN
Words and Music:
Ande Rasmussen / Donna Aylor / Ronda Wynn

A hand touches my shoulder
I almost drop my cup
You surprise me in this cafe
My whole face goes flush
Thoughts of holding you
Start taking me back
To emotions I can never
Keep buried in the past

CHORUS
I’M MARRIED TO YOUR MEM’RY
THOUGH I’VE TRIED TO LET YOU GO
I STILL HAVE ALL YOUR LETTERS
EV’RY WORD YOU WROTE
BUT I CHOSE A DIFFERENT PATH
OH HOW I WAS MISTAKEN
I SHOULD HAVE PLACED MY FAITH IN
THE HEART NOT TAKEN

As you talk I have to watch
Ev’ry move you make
You look just as (beautiful-handsome)
As the day I drove away
Time and distance cannot cloud
What my feelings make clear
I’d give anything right now
To make love for those lost years

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
As we hug good-bye I fight to hold my tears in
How that wedding band you’re wearing
Makes me long for what might have been

REPEAT CHORUS

THE HEART NOT TAKEN
