"Beneath My Chest”

 

When beneath my chest you came to rest

This heart deep within did fail me

I drop my head in shame

And lay my hand upon my chest


To cover up the hurt inside

Cause something deep inside did break

Leaving me with a deep stabbing ache

With a drowsy pain within my heart

Knowing without measure I lost a treasure

Tears tumbling down my face

Splashing to a stop in the sand

Beneath my chest you came to rest

My heart imprisoned by love

But this heart deep within did fail me

As I drop my head in shame

I lay both my hands upon my head

Looking up to the sky

Forgiveness I beg for

Tears tumbling down my face

Splashing to stop in the sand

As I still walk my beach alone

Standing tall in pain

Beneath the deep blue sky

All I can do right now is cry

And drop my head in shame

Knowing I love You...

Who came to rest beneath my chest
