Follow the Lonely Heart's Trail

Follow the Lonely Heart's Trail

It is the autumn, leaves falling down to the ground
Previously warm air, turning cold
Some days, the rain falls out of the sky
Delighting the children like warm apple pies

Leaves turning colors, reminiscing our lovely mothers
We play hide and go seek in leave piles
With sweaters on and torn up jeans
Our happiness stretches for miles

Sometimes in life you have to make a tough decision
You feel you don't have enough show or wisdom
When your hopes go off into an empty sail
Remember to follow the lonely heart's trail
Every lonely heart's trial leads to heaven

The days spread colder and thinner, the night falls quicker
Children and adults are cheerful, now winter is here
With stories of Santa and the gang, absolutely nothing to fear
Warm up by the fireplace listening to old carols

Outside the world has grown loved, snow sticks on the touch of a feather
Every little boy and girl will always remember this weather
Snowmen, sledding, snowball wars, and snow forts
Do you remember the times when we were the kings of the court?

Your mind ponders the decision longer, only one way to go
'Yes there are two paths you can go by, But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on'
When in doubt, just follow the lonely heart's trail
Every lonely heart's trail leads to heaven

It is now springtime, we have a loving home
Warm sunshine spreads itself over the yard
As our new dog chews on his bone
And we listen to the song in our brand new car

Days spent on the river, fishing for dreams
Daddy's sleeping in his hammock hanging from the trees
Blue water sparkles against our ankles, jeans rolled up
As we capture lady bugs in a cup

Sometimes it's hard to tell where you are
Determination and love can only get you so far
When you start to feel dazed and confused
Just follow the lonely heart's trail
You will not lose

At last, summer is here, hot sunshine beams down on the trees
Children are free to do what they please
Stay with friends every day; live in a home at night
Things seem to be just right

Playing with friends at the park, summer love fills us up from the start
A new world, a new hope, a new resolution
We stay here past dark, staring at each other's eyes
As the daylight around us slowly dies

The rain falls too hard to feel
And the snow is packing in on you
And you want to give it in and bail
Remember to just follow the lonely heart's trail
Every lonely heart's trail leads to heaven
