Heaven Help My Heart
Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What once was forever is now a faded memory
The perfect illusion
For a while I guess it was
Without explanation
The bloom fell off the rose
(chorus)
cause it's a lot like me
I'm wonderin when this all will end
And I'll find the love I need
I know it's out there somewhere
Somehow I still believe
I'm asking please
Heaven help my heart
This world can get crazy
These are troubled times
I'd walk through the fire
If love is what I'd find
It's out of my hands now
So I put my faith in you
And I say a little prayer
And hope that it comes true
(repeat chorus)

The feeling that was once flourishing began to die away, and the love they shared faded.
The singer calls for help from heaven for her heart, which is just like her, broken and hopeless. She's seeking a way out of the pain and yearning for love to come her way again. She knows there's someone out there for her, and she still believes in love, even though she's lost it.
