Refrain
Close to your heart
Keep this little token
To show I love you
Tho’ you’re far away
Close to your heart, dear
When the world seems wrong
Tho’ we’re apart, dear
And the waiting’s long
And when you’re thinking
Ev’ryone’s against you
And skies are gray, dear
With no sign of blue
Just keep my token
Close to your heart
Then you’ll remember
That I still believe in you
