Just as Long as You Live in a Song

Just as Long as You Live in a Song

I’ve waited and I’ve watched

And its time for you to fly

Southern Winds are calling you home

So I guess Ill have to say goodbye

So long, now that your hearts where it belongs

Just thought Id place the love we shared within a song

There are lots of memories in this simple song I sing

And every time I play this song

I hope it will bring me back to you

For awhile so that my heart can wear your smile

Just thought Id place the love we shared with in a song

What good is your song if you’re going away?

Within this melody I know you’ll stay within my touch

And I’ll love you just as much

And as long as I have you in a song

Just as long as I have you in a song
