I Lost My Heart - What the Words Mean

Although it sounds like a straight ahead love song, this song is actually about a Heart Transplant. The singer was in a motorcycle accident, and was an organ donor.

The sex of the donor is not important, and his heart was transplanted into a woman. They will not allow a transplant twice, so his heart is hers forever. The identity of the donor is usually kept from the person who receives the transplant. However, the woman in this song hires a detective to find out who. Because his gravesite is not available to her for some reason, she puts flowers along the road where he died every year on the date of the accident, to honor the man who saved her life.

Corny, but aren't Country songs supposed to be corny?

While I was looking for a graphic to go with the song, I came across this blog on the subject. Total coincidence, but goes perfectly with the song. If you would like to know more about donating, follow this link.
