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 mind Whenever the lights of love don't shine. Darlin' keep this heart in mind 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 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 mind Whenever the lights of love don't shine. Darlin' keep this heart in mind Everytime.
