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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
