Lyrics
SAFE WITHIN MY HEART
Like a reel of old time movies playin' in my head,
I see you curled up safe and warm on your favorite bed.
And the way you would look up at me as I played around with a melody,
I wouldn't give it up for all the world.
‘But if I could trade this heart that’s full of pain,
for a life where I'd never known you there's nothin' I would change.
I'll keep you here we'll never be apart,
you'll live on in my memories,
safe within my heart.
All the years you lived were showin' in your eyes,
and I knew the day was soon to come for me to say goodbye.
'Cause your days of chasing rabbits came and passed you by,
I had to let you go my baby girl.
‘But if I could trade this heart that’s full of pain,
for a life where I'd never known you there's nothin' I would change.
I'll keep you here we'll never be apart,
you'll live on in my memories,
safe within my heart.
Letting go ain't easy,
it's the hardest thing to do.
I'll hold on to the memories,
of all my years with you.
‘And if I could trade this heart that’s full of pain,
for a life where I'd never known you there's nothin' I would change.
I'll keep you here we'll never be apart,
you'll live on in my memories,
safe within my heart.
