My heart is a locket
That I keep upon a chain.
Close it is forever,
And forever it shall stay.
I keep you in there with it
Like a picture in my mind.
To have and hold forever,
To keep and to remind
Me that I love you dear,
My darling,
I keep you close at hand.
So whenever I fall troubled,
I can look, and there you stand.
It’s only you who calms me,
It’s only you who stays,
Locked up in my locket heart
For the rest and all my days.
