I heard you say life can't go on this way
And you need to change your view
So you packed up and moved out of my life
To find a world of your own.

Even now that you've up and gone
For you there's still a place in my heart
Only real love in my life
That even time can't erase.

So darlin', keep this heart in mine
Whenever the lights of love don't shine
Darlin' keep this heart in mine everytime.

I knew you cared
'Cause in your letters you would write
And say that you missed my lovin' every day
Well if that's true, all I'd ever say
Why aren't you next to me.

And you call me on the telephone
afraid because you're all alone
Well, Baby, just remember
Oh, love will abide.

So darlin', keep this heart in mine
Whenever the lights of love don't shine
Darlin' keep this heart in mine everytime...
