i’m the keeper of your heart.
your life is(my life is our life)a little ball spinning in the palm of my hand
and i hold it, and protect it,

and when you’re smiling,
i toss it up into the air for the whole room to see.
or pass it on to her once you’re feeling secure.

i’m the keeper of your heart.
but i only get to live in the caretaker’s shack,
while she’s sleeping in the master bedroom…with you.

and as soon as she drops it, and breaks your life in two,
you’ll come rolling back to me(leave me, I’ll be here).
i’m the keeper of your heart.

so i’ll pull out the crazy glue(crazy fixing crazy)and get to work on fixing you again(fix me now)……
but only for someone else.

that’s the way it’s always been, and the way it will be.
as long as you’re broken(stay broken).
i’ll have you with me in my hands(my arms my love),
but be forced to let you go when you’re whole again.

i’m the keeper of your heart.

Joyce - thank you so much for the sound advice.  It made me smile.  (I'm slowly in the process of removing myself from this broken boy.)

i thank you God for most this amazing day;for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky - ee cummings
