My friend Susie Brading and I sat down outside in Hendersonville and wrote this in about 10 minutes back in 1992 I believe

1988 was trying to write Gospel songs

Are you ready for the return of JESUS

MY BROKEN HEART
(Steve Bounds)

DAY AND NIGHT YOU'RE ON MY MIND
I NEED TO LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND
MY POOR OLD TORTURED HEART KEEPS TELLING ME
I'M HAUNTED BY A LOVE GONE WRONG
I'M LIVING A SAD COUNTRY SONG
THERE'S NO DRINK CAN DROWN THIS MISERY

MY BROKEN HEART CAN'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
I'M SEARCHING FOR THE ANSWER BUT MY LOGIC'S GONE ASTRAY
THE TEARDROPS FALL AND AFTER ALL MY DREAMS WERE WASHED AWAY
MY BROKEN HEART CAN'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY

I HURT ALL DAY, I'M SO UPTIGHT
IT'S HARD TO GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT
TEARS KEEP FALLING AS I KNEEL TO PRAY
I ASK THE LORD TO SET ME FREE
TO TAKE AWAY THIS PAIN FROM ME
I NEVER KNEW THAT I COULD HURT THIS WAY

REPEAT CHORUS:

I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS BAD
MY HAPPINESS FEELS REALLY SAD
I HOPE TIME CAN CHASE THESE BLUES AWAY
I FEEL HALF SICK, I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT
MY PATIENCE LEFT AND I CAN'T WAIT
I NEED RELIEF AND I NEED IT TODAY

REPEAT CHORUS & TAG:

TAG:
IT'S PLAIN TO TELL THAT ALL OF HELL IS STANDING IN MY WAY
MY BROKEN HEART CAN'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
MY BROKEN HEART CAN'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
