Brand New Strings Lyrics - Ricky Skaggs

You took my broken heart put the pieces back in place 

Took my two empty arms and fill the space with your embrace 

Then you dried away the tears and put a twinkle in their place 

Then you gently hung a smile upon my face. 

You polished up my songs made the reasons for my rhymes 

Repainted every color in those faded dreams of mine 

And you swept out all the ashes and you built a burnin' fire 

To give me light and keep me warm at night. 

You made a brand new me one like I never see 

And when I look into the mirror I still can't believe 

The way you finished me you made me so complete 

From the mess I used to be you made a brand new me. 

You found the love I lost somewhere deep inside my soul 

In prison by the darkness left to die out in the cold 

But with tender words of promise you relit the light of hope 

Now I have the time for all the world to know. 

You made a brand new me one like I never see 

And when I look into the mirror I still can't believe 

The way you finished me you made me so complete 

From the mess I used to be you made a brand new me. 

From the mess I used to be you made a brand new me
