During my high school years in Chicago, I left one summer and went to work at a camp in the N Car. mountains. When I returned I found out my long time girlfriend had cancer. I had already decided to breakup with her after spending the summer with another girl. I was then faced with the dilemma of telling her we were through and convincing her it was not because of her condition. I am still haunted by the memory. I continued to visit the hospital while trying to move on and it was a tricky dance. She was gone in less than a year. She was the Valedictorian in our class of 1250 students and I was a two time high school dropout. She was a great girl and loved by everybody and a lot of people wondered what the hell she was doing with me. I'm forever grateful for the years we had together. So how do you boil it all down to a few verses? I'm not sure but I felt I should at least try. Sorry, don't mean to bring anyone down. Thanks for listening. Tom

Right Through Her Heart


Fall moved in summers gone before we ever knew

Felt like winters coming on there’s nothing i could do


Is there a way that i could say i hate to let you down

Dreams don’t last please don’t crash fall gently to the ground


Always found the words to say

Why was this so hard

If I could have seen her tears pour out

That first night in the car

I might have turned and drove away

Right there at the start

Instead I drove a hole right through her heart



Hidden in that goodbye kiss this one’s all on me

i hope that she will never miss What never was to be

Guess i learned that once you’re burned you’ve only got yourself

Certainly because of me she learned that lesson well


Always found the words to say

Why was this so hard

If I could have seen her tears pour out

That first night in the car

I might have turned and drove away

Right there at the start

Instead I drove a hole right through her heart
