This is probably one of my favorites because John decided to try something new with the chorus. I'm having some difficulty locating final drafts of my lyrics. If I find them, I'll post them at a later date.
Heart Is On The Line

She sits alone there by the window
And the smile you see just hides a broken heart
Because he's told her that he's leaving
And the pain inside is tearing her apart
‘Cause when she wakes up in the morning
And she turns to him and knows he will be gone
He's long, long gone.....
But she’ll try to carry on……….
Chorus:
So as you travel through your life
Harmony:
(she can remember the times they had together)
don't take for granted all the things you find
Harmony
(She can remember it all)
Some day you may well realize
Harmony
(Her heart is breaking and deep inside she's aching)
Because your heart is on the line.
Harmony
(And now she finds she's alone.)
And as you travel on your way
Harmony
(she can remember the time they had together)
You feel love growing each and everyday
Harmony
(She can remember it all)
Don't take for granted what you find.....
Harmony
(And now she finds she's alone)
Because your heart is on the line.
verse two:
Ten years or more together
and it ended in the blinking of an eye
Believing in forever
She takes all her time to stop and wonder why.....
She gave him everything he needed
but not enough to hold onto his heart
now, he's long, long gone....
And she don’t know where to start.
bridge:
for once in her life...she finds she's alone again
for once in her life...she knows that she's lost her friend...
and now that he's gone
she feels like the lonely one...
not the only one.....

Chorus:
So as you travel through your life
Harmony:
(she can remember the times they had together)
don't take for granted all the things you find
Harmony
(She can remember it all)
One day you soon may realize
Harmony
(Her heart is breaking and deep inside she's aching)
That your heart is on the line.
Harmony
(And now she finds she's alone.)
And as you travel on your way
Harmony
(she can remember the time they had together)
You feel love growing each and everyday
Harmony

Don't take for granted what you find.....
Harmony
(And now she finds she's alone)
Because your heart is on the line.
verse two:
Ten years or more together
and it ended in the blinking of an eye
Believing in forever
She fills her time now lost and wondering why.....
She gave him everything he needed
but not enough to hold onto his heart
now, he's long, long gone....
So she tries to carry on......
bridge:
for once in her life...she finds she's alone again
for once in her life...she knows that she's lost her friend...
and now that he's gone
she feels like the lonely one...
not the only one.....
Last chorus
So as you travel through your life
don't take for granted all the things you find
Some day you may well realize,
Because your heart is on the line.....
Some day you may well realize
Because your heart is on the line.....
