~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you´re mine.. I walk the line..
I find it very very easy to be true
I find myself.. alone when each day is thru
Yes, I´ll admit.. that I´m a fool for you
Because you´re mine.. I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I´ve known proves that it´s right
Because you´re mine.. I walk the line..
You´ve got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can´t hide
For you, I know I´d even try to turn the tide
Because you´re mine.. I walk the line
