the world could fall apart
but you’re my heart, my dear
i will sing this song
‘til we are gone, my dear
how do i keep you from losing your way
hope you’ll go out and you’ll come back someday
but love is letting go
and this i’ll know
is you were mine
for a time
i could shape your mind
but why waste time, my dear
there’s so much more to know
than i can show you dear
how do i keep you from losing your way
hope you’ll go out and you’ll come back someday
but love is letting go
and this i’ll know
is you were mine
for a time
i have held you close
and breathed your name, my dear
i was with you then
and will remain, my dear
how do i keep you from losing your way
hope you will find love like i did someday
but love is letting go
and this i’ll know
is you were mine
for a time
