Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me
Let me show why I'm true blue
When I know our love is true
Don't keep your love from me
If you would say to me today
The time for love is now
Could I sway your love my way
Then I say tell me how
Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me
If you would say to me today
The time for love is now
Could I sway your love my way
Then I say tell me how
Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me

Some great music was recorded by these guys, Jane and Brian. They recorded a great song "I Go To Pieces", written by our local boy Del Shannon. I'm sure you are familiar with that one. Their songs are timeless to me. Thanks so much for your comment. Best regards.
