Longfellow Serenade Lyrics

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 this web of rhyme

Upon this summer night

We'll leave this worldly time

On his winged flight

Then come, and as we lay

Beside this sleepy glade

There I'll 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 weave this web of rhyme

Upon this summer night

We'll leave this worldly time

On his winged flight

Then come, and as we lay

Beside this sleepy glade

There I'll sing to you

My Longfellow serenade
