At quiet moments when alone I think of you my child full grown Across the oceans through the stars In downtown dives and low life bars I cling on to this love our ours For I will always hold you in my heart I never knew how far I'd fall A poor blind fool who had it all I threw your simple love away Too busy living for the day True happiness for you I pray For I will always hold you in my heart If you put your thoughts of me behind you Well that's only right But sentimentally, I hold you So gently I enfold you - every lonely night for I hold you in my heart I sit alone, I never mix I got myself an instant fix And through a haze of gin-joint juice your loving face I reproduce Thank God this poison has its use For I will always hold you in my heart
