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
