Longfellow Serenade

Longfellow Serenade
Such were the plans I’d made
for she was a lady and I was a dreamer
with only words to trade.
You know that I was born for a night like this
warmed by a stolen kiss.
For I was lonely,
and she was lonely.

Ride, come on baby ride
let me make your dreams come true
I’ll sing my song,
let me sing my song
let me make it warm for you.
I’ll weave his web of rhyme
upon the summer night
we’ll leave this worldly time
on his winged flight
Then come and as we lay beside this sleepy glade
there I will sing to you
my Longfellow Serenade.

Longfellow Serenade
Such were the plans I made
but she was a lady as deep as the river
and through the night we stayed.
And in my way I loved her as none before
loved her with words and more.
For she was lonely,
and I was lonely.

Ride, come on baby ride
let me make your dreams come true
I’ll sing my song,
let me sing my song
let me make it warm for you.
I’ll wave his web of rhyme
upon the summer night
we’ll leave this worldly time
on his winged flight
Then come and as we lay beside this sleepy glade
there I will sing to you
my Longfellow Serenade.
