about

This Heart of Mine is a Blind Blind Fool
A country song influenced by Cajun music (with a smidgen of 1940's big band call and response). It's about the tension between giving into the temptations of a wandering heart and staying with your true love.

lyrics

This Heart of Mine Is a Blind Blind Fool

This heart of mine
is a blind blind fool
It just takes one smile
to break this lovers rule

A single glance
And I can cross the line
A careless touch
and I'm out of time

It may be a gentle game
of playing two
But it could turn this man
away from you

So I don’t kiss the girls
and no I don’t kiss the boys
I've got a blind blind love
and that love is you

(Add the backing singers sing:)

So he don’t kiss the girls
and no he don’t kiss the boys
He’s got a blind blind love
and that love is you

But if they catch my eye
Just know it’s true
I keep my love at home
and my kissin’ too

For this heart of mine
May be a blind blind fool
Got one true love
And that love is you
