I'm alone in the darkness Sifting through mem’ries Keeping you close to my heart I remember you younger Steadier, stronger Keeping you close to my heart It may be as time goes on The I’ll hear your voice Inside my own There won’t be just memories I’ll feel you deep Inside my soul Crack’ling fire warms contemplation Scrutinizing situations Keeping you close to my heart Embers glow fuels speculation Maybe life’s an education Keeping you close to my heart Like an ancient hymn Rising deep within me Feelings to deep for words Keeping you close to my heart Keeping you close to my heart Keeping you close to my heart Day breaks beyond my window My fire has all but died I spy the morning star and I lower my head And close my eyes Now I’m calming my mind down Finding my center Keeping you close to my heart I am learning to cope with Life now that you’re gone Keeping you close to Keeping you close to Keeping you close to my heart
