I keep a close watch on this heart of mine,

I keep my eyes wide open all the time,

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds,

Because you're mine, I walk the line.



I find it very, very easy to be true,

I find myself alone when each day's through,

Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you,

Because you're mine, I walk the line.



As sure as night is dark and day is light,

I keep you on my mind both day and night,

And happiness I've known proves that it's right,

Because you're mine, I walk the line.



You've got a way to keep me on your side,

You give me cause for love that I can't hide,

For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide,

Because you're mine, I walk the line.



I keep a close watch on this heart of mine,

I keep my eyes wide open all the time,

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds,

Because you're mine, I walk the line.
