Keep Me In Your Heart For Awhile by Warren Zevon
**Warren passed away on Sept 9th, 2003 of cancer. This song is a fitting tribute.**
Shadows are fallin’
and I’m runnin’ 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
When you get up in the mornin’
and you see that crazy sun
keep me in your heart for awhile
There’s a train leavin’ nightly
called when all is said and done
keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sometimes when you’re doin’
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 awhile
Hold me in your thoughts
take me to your dreams
touch me as I fall into view
and when the winter comes
keep the fires lit
and I’ll be right next to you
Engine driver’s headed north
to Pleasant Street
keep me in your heart for awhile
these wheels keep turnin
but they’re runnin out of steam
keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Keep me in your heart for awhile…
