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 is through.

Yes, I'll admit 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
