“Keep Me In Your Heart” was the final song recorded by Warren Zevon. He wrote the song as he was dying, aware of his terminal diagnosis, and he picked this song to be his final recording. Unlike most of his other songs, this appears to be an earnest, thoughtful request that people remember him after...
[Verse 1]
Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
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 a while
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-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-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-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
