  • Walk along the lake with someone new
    Have yourself a summer fling or two
    But remember I'm in love with you and
    Save your heart for me

    When the summer moon is on the rise
    And you're dancin' under starlit skies
    Please don't let stars get in your eyes, just
    Save your heart for me

    When you're all alone, far away from home
    Someone's gonna flirt with you
    I won't think it's wrong if you play along
    Just don't fall for someone new

    When the autumn winds begin to blow
    And the summertime is long ago
    You'll be in my arms again I know, so
    Save your heart for me
    Darlin', save your heart for me

    Please remember I'm in love with you, so
    Save your heart for me
    Darlin', save your heart for me Writer/s: Gary Geld, Peter Udell
