Last night Greg and I watched the goodbye episode of the weekly drama “House“. We have watched this program from the beginning – all 8 seasons and have loved the acting, story lines, chemistry between the actors and good music choices for the story each week. If you saw the finale – you no doubt will recall the special song played at the end called “Keep Me In Your Heart” written and sung by the late Warren Zevon when he learned he had terminal cancer. It brought a very emotional ending to a much beloved character played by Hugh Laurie. And while the song was playing, different scenes from the many actors were shown – it was really beautiful. Here is the song – hope you enjoy it.
God Bless

Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile
There’s a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sometimes when you’re doing simple things
around the house
Maybe you’ll think of me and smile
You know I’m tied to you like the buttons on
your blouse
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine driver’s headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for awhile
These wheels keep turning but they’re running out
of steam
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Keep me in your heart for awhile

This is my first experience with Warren Zevon – and I love what I’m hearing! I will have to check out those other songs you listed and especially Abigail’s song on the piano
Love Warren Zevon. “Mutineer,” and “Don’t Let Us Get Sick” are two of my favorites. Abigail is working on playing “Werewolves” on the piano.
