De laatste song die Warren Zevon opnam, kort voordat hij overleed. De opnamen verliepen moeizaam: Warren was doodziek en moest verstek laten gaan toen de bandleden de muziek op band zetten. Het is Warren Zevon’s meest ontroerende song: de meester van de cynische observatie die voor één keer zijn ziel blootlegt en zijn vrienden vraagt hem niet te vergeten. Enkele dagen na het opnemen van Keep Me In Your Heart overleed Warren Zevon aan de gevolgen van longkanker.
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile
There’s a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sometimes when you’re doing simple things
around the house
Maybe you’ll think of me and smile
You know I’m tied to you like the buttons on
your blouse
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine driver’s headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for awhile
These wheels keep turning but they’re running out
of steam
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Keep me in your heart for awhile
