Keep It Close

My daddy told me when I was a boy

"This world will try to rob you of your joy

There’s a thief on every corner of the street

Trying to take from you the love that makes you sweet"

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close to your heart

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close to your heart

Or you’re gonna go blind

I saw a man without a leg who held a sign

It said, "Where are you gonna go after you die?"

And I thought to myself, "Man, that is strange

I need to talk to the conductor 'bout this train"

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close to your heart

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close to your heart

Or you’re gonna go blind

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close to your heart

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close

You gotta keep it close to your heart

Or you’re gonna go blind
