Locket

(album: Faron Young - 1966)

I hold the key to her locket
She wears around her neck to show she's mine
We're too young to be engaged so we found another way
To vow our love until the end of time, oh

We'll make all the spots together
The record hops the drive-in's and the shows
And all the fellows know everywhere we go
That the locket means that you are mine, oh

I'll hold you close and tell you that I love you
You'll squeeze my hand and say you feel the same
So you wear the locket and I'll keep the key
Until I can replace it with a ring

So always keep this locket that I bought you
And wear it on your neck to high and proud
So everyone can see you belong to me
And that we bought our love eternally
