Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath.
Keep me in your heart for a while.
If I leave you, it doesn’t mean I love you any less.
Keep me in your heart for a while.
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun,
keep me in your heart for a while.
There’s a train leaving nightly called “when all is said and done.”
Keep me in your heart for a while.
Sha la la la la la la la la la lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha la la la la la la la la la lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sometimes, when you’re doing simple things around the house,
maybe you’ll think of me and smile.
You know I’m tied to you like the buttons on your blouse.
Keep me in your heart for a while.
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams, touch me as I fall into view.
When the winter comes, keep the fires lit and I will be right next to you.
Engine driver’s headed north to pleasant streams.
Keep me in your heart for a while.
These wheels keep turnin’ but they’re runnin’ out of steam.
Keep me in your heart for a while.
Sha la la la la la la la la la lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha la la la la la la la la la lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
…Keep me in your heart for a while…
