Longfellow Serenade Songtext
von Neil Diamond

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 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 weave this 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

Weave your web of rhyme
Upon our summer night
We'll leave this worldly time
On your winged flight
