Lyrics

I Will Hold You in My Heart
By Douglas E. Adair and Fred Barreto © 2004

Verse 1
Oh you know I have to leave you
I'm goin' oh so far away
But I will always keep you with me
Each and every day

Chorus
I will hold you in my heart
Wherever I may be
When I think of you my darlin'
You'll be there with me

Bridge
From the mountains to the ocean
And the valleys in between
Though we may not be together
You'll be in everything I see

Instrumental Break

Verse 2
And when I at last return
I will kiss your smiling face
Until then I'll keep on dreamin'
And see you in every place

Chorus
I will hold you in my heart
Wherever I may be
When I think of you my darlin'
You'll be there with me

Bridge
From the mountains to the ocean
And the valleys in between
Though we may not be together
You'll be in everything I see

Chorus
I will hold you in my heart
Wherever I may be
When I think of you my darlin'
You'll be there with me
