Heart On Your Dresser Lyrics

Sweet Melinda went to the hoedown braless and confused

Met Rielly Thomas Campbell as they were lining up in twos

She was wearing leather hot pants and lipstick made of wine

Rielly said, "Can you remember when?"

Hell, it's been a long long time

Sweet Melinda said, "I've been living on my own

Since you left me at the altar, standing all alone

Stranded in the church-house with my family gathered round

When the preacher asked you to say I do, you'd already left town

I left my heart on your dresser but you dusted it away

Into a big pile of sawdust upon our wedding day

It got swept up in the lonely years and set out with the trash

I left my heart on your dresser because I knew this wouldn't last

Reilly tried to answer while his eyes were still upon her

He said, "How was I to know that she was the maid of honor"

"If I had it to do over I'd wipe away your tears!"

Melinda shook her head and said

"You've been that way for years!"

I left my heart on your dresser but you dusted it away

Into a big pile of sawdust upon our wedding day

It got swept up in the lonely years and set out with the trash

I left my heart on your dresser because I knew this wouldn't last

There's a moral to this story, there's a moral to this song

Situations just like this have been going on too long

Reilly asked her one more time as he was looking at his watch

Sweet Melinda laughed at him, and kicked him in the crotch

I left my heart on your dresser but you dusted it away

Into a big pile of sawdust upon our wedding day

It got swept up in the lonely years and set out with the trash

I left my heart on your dresser because I knew this wouldn't last
