Sherri, Keep My Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sherri, your name sits softly on my tongue Like the sweetest little secret I’ve held onto I keep a place for you beside me every night And save the best of every day to tell you right [Pre-Chorus] If you could see the way I smile at your picture You’d know my heart has already chosen you [Chorus] Sherri, I love you more than these words can say I want to hold you close and never rush away Soon I’ll be right there, your hand resting in mine Till then, keep a little piece of my heart by your side You make the miles feel smaller, darling, just by being you And I miss you in the quiet like the morning misses dew [Verse 2] You have a way of making ordinary feel like gold One little laugh from you could warm the winter cold I’d tell you you’re beautiful, then watch you look away And kiss that shy smile you try so hard to hide from me [Pre-Chorus] You deserve the kind of love that feels like coming home And every road I take keeps leading where you are [Chorus] Sherri, I love you more than these words can say I want to hold you close and never rush away Soon I’ll be right there, your hand resting in mine Till then, keep a little piece of my heart by your side You make the miles feel smaller, darling, just by being you And I miss you in the quiet like the morning misses dew [Bridge] When you close your eyes tonight, imagine me near Saying, “Sweet girl, I’m so grateful that you’re here” No grand promise shines as bright as what I know is true: My favorite place in this whole world is anywhere with you [Final Chorus] Sherri, I love you more than these words can say I’m counting down the days till I can be your way Soon I’ll be right there, your hand resting in mine And I’ll say all those sweet things I’ve been saving for that time You make the miles feel smaller, darling, just by being you I miss you, I adore you, and I’m coming back to you [Outro] Sherri, keep my heart until I’m there Soon, my love, soon I’ll be with you
