Lyrics

Just a Lock of Hair

I often think of you at night,
Long to kiss you, hold you tight;
But all I have when you’re not there;
Are my thoughts of you, and a lock of hair.

Your long blond hair is a wonderful sight;
It shines like gold in the bright sunlight.
That’s why I asked for your lock of hair;
So I can carry you with me everywhere.

Chorus

Just a lock of hair is all I have from you;
Just a few fine strands remind me of your love so true.
I keep that lock of hair close to my heart;
Reminding me of you while we’re apart.

Now we’re apart, but not for long;
And there’s one thing that keeps me strong;
That lock of hair with your perfume sweet;
Reminding me of you till our pathways meet.
Your long blond hair is a wonderful sight;
It shines like gold in the bright sunlight.
That’s why I asked for your lock of hair;
So I can carry you with me everywhere.

(Chorus instrumental)

(Chorus)

I keep that lock of hair close to my heart;
Reminding me of you while we’re apart.
