KEEP ME IN YOUR HEART FOR A WHILE

This is a song I have not heard until today sang by a friend of mine.. And then I find that every one knows it and I feel left out of the loop... I just had to play and play and play this song... then turn the colour out of the bulb and out of the room.... a beautiful song by Warren Zevon...


When asked by Letterman if he knew something more about life and death now, he first offered his oft-quoted insight on dying:

"Enjoy every sandwich."

Warren Zevon died on September 7 2003 aged 56. The Wind was certified gold by the RIAA during December 2003 and Zevon received five posthumous Grammy nominations, including Song of the Year for the ballad "Keep Me In Your Heart". The Wind won two Grammys and receiving the award for Best Contemporary Folk Album He was cremated and his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean near Los Angeles

Shadows are falling and I'm running 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 awhile

When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for while
There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for while

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for while

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 while

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

Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for while
These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for while
