And we’ll keep together
Like the leaves on a tree
When we fall apart
I know you’ll stick by me
So when the world seems cold
There’s a fire inside
And how the world keeps turning
While our sweet love abides

Met a gal who could whittle with the best
She had an ink blot on her back she calls her
Family crest
And when I look her in the eyes
I feel the radiant sunrise
She sets the beating and the flutter in my chest

And we’ll keep together
Like the leaves on a tree
When we fall apart
I know you’ll stick by me
So when the world seems cold
There’s still a fire inside
And how the world keeps turning
Our sweet love abide

With a whistle and a whip she knew my name
I knew I never and I couldn’t be the same
From far in Arizona
To the California tide
Ain’t never seen another like the one to be my bride

And we’ll keep together
Like the leaves on a tree
When we fall apart
I knew you’d stick by me
So when the world seems cold
There’s a fire where we hide
And how the world keeps turning
My eyes are open wide

Well she never knew my name
Like I whispered hers at night
I wished I’d better known and I
Wished I’d better spied
But that world keeps on turning and my
Trouble keeps on burning
And I know I’m gonna find my gal tonight

And we’ll keep together
Like the leaves up on a tree
And she’ll mean much more
Than you ever did to me
So when the world seems cold
And the winds pull in a storm
I’m gonna hold you in my arms
I’ll keep you safe and keep you warm
