A lady friend of mine stopped by the house this morning
And I walked to the door and let her in
I gave her a great big grin
And said, honey, won't you come on in
And then I turned my head so she wouldn't see
Outside my lips were smiling
But inside my poor heart was dying
Cause you're still living
Dear me, dear me, dear me

Deep in the heart of me
Now when you left, everybody told me
I'd forget you
You know it's funny, everybody in town
Thinks I did
But that just goes to show
How very little they know
Cause honey, you're a bit
With me
Everywhere I go
I'll never let them see
But honey, you'll always be
Living right here
Deep in the heart of me
It took a lot of courage
To get out of bed this morning
And it'll take even more
To lay down again tonight
Even when I watch TV
It looks like they're laughing at me
So I just turn my head
And try to sleep
And try to sleep
When the morning comes, I pray
Then I face another day
With you here
Deep in the heart of me
And I face another day
