My Heart in Deep Despair

(Bob Nolan)

The blues dropped by to say,

“You know it’s just a waste of time

To want her back again.

You know she’ll only send

Your heart in deep despair.”

But still, I’ll take a chance.

If fortune sends her back to me,

A moment to be kind

If she were here to find

My heart in deep despair.

Blue is the swallow, homing from the sea.

Blue is this hollow where my heart should be.

So, send my darling home. Oh Lord,

It’s such a hopeless thing

To find I love her still.

I know she’ll always fill

My heart in deep despair.
