Keep me in your heart for a while

Keep me in your heart for a while

Keep me in your heart for a while

Sometimes when you’re doing simple things around the house
Cadd9                        G    
Maybe you’ll think of me and smile
             G       Gmaj7        C               G     
You know I’m tied to you like the buttons on your blouse

Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Am7                     G   
Touch me as I fall into view
Cadd9                 G/B               
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
Am7                     D7     
And I will be right next to you
