Dear Heart
Roy Drusky & Priscilla Mitchell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dear heart I wish you were here to warm this night
(Dear heart seems like a year since you've been out of my sight)
A single room a table for one it's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
(Dear heart I want you to know I'll leave your arms) never more
A single room a table for one...
