(1972)"Bless Your Heart" is a song made famous by
country music singer Freddie Hart. Originally released in 1972, the song became his third No. 1 song that summer and was the title track to Hart's 1972 album.Country music writer Tom Roland wrote that the
homonym y of Hart's last name ("Hart" and "heart") and the use of a common phrase ("bless your heart") in the lyrics provided the basis for the song [Roland, Tom, "The Billboard Book of Number One Country Hits" (Billboard Books, Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 1991 (ISBN 0-82-307553-2)), p. 62-63] , which is about a man who - despite his failings and feelings of unworthiness - expresses deep gratitude that his wife still loves him.As the song grew in popularity, wrote Roland, Hart's fans "began saying it more and more in conjunction with (Hart) on stage."
