Heather Joan
You walked into my life
So alive and unconcerned
Those vivid, piercing eyes of green
You turned and said
I’m Heather Joan
{Chorus}
Heather Joan
Your silhouette
Is all I own
My outstretched glare
For you takes hold
My heart I left with you at home
My heart was feeling cold (frozen) (comatose)
Your smile illuminating
A bright, warm presence
In the room
You turned and said
I’m Heather Joan
{Guitar solo, minor keys, 16 bars}
Heather Joan, oooh
My darling, patience please, keep hold
At night in bed you toss alone
Just memories to keep you warm
So beautiful,
So frail and young
Please keep the faith
Stay strong
{Modulation up 1 or ½ step}
Heather Joan, oooh oh
Yes, soon I’ll be returning home
I promise you
The world is yours
The Bond we have is ours alone
No jealousy…no dark, closed doors
These years are rich with cherished gold
My heart cries out…….it’s Heather Joan
Heather Joan
I know you feel it
Just as strong
Together as one
We’ll build a home
A fireplace to keep us warm {count 3, 4}
A dog, a porch, a lawn
We’ll call it home sweet home
A place for us to grow old
Home sweet home…. Sweet home
for me and and Heather Joan Oh, oh,
Heather Joan Oh, oh {out x 4}
One Heather Joan {no music}
You walked into my life
So alive and unconcerned
Those vivid, piercing eyes of green
You turned and said
I’m Heather Joan
{Chorus}
