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 some day
But love is letting go
And this I'll know


Cause you were mine
For a time


I could shape your mind
But why waste time, my dear

There's so much more to know
And I can show you dear


How do I keep you from losing your way

Hope you'll go out and you'll come back some day

But love is letting go
And this I'll know


Cause 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 some day
But love is letting go
And this I'll know


Cause you were mine
For a time
