[Verse 1]
Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less:
Keep me in your heart for a while

[Verse 2]
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile
There's a train leaving nightly called
"When All-is-Said-and-Done"
Keep me in your heart for a while

[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while

[Verse 3]
Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse:
Keep me in your heart for a while

[Bridge]
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you

[Verse 4]
Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for a while
These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for a while

[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while

[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
