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
