Tonight, as I lay next to you there's a longing in my heart. A yearning to return to simpler times. When pennies for your thoughts were all the riches that we knew, and reason never entered our rhymes.
It once seemed like a holiday just looking in your eyes. Within them, I could see a billion stars. And I could be transported when you took me in your arms. Within your love I'd soar away and afar.
Chorus: Lullabies and longings lead me into peaceful sleep and dreams of the life that we once knew. Lullabies bring solace to this wary heart of mine, and longing for the days of me and you.
Each morning, as I wake I try to catch a dream or two, then gently hold your hand, my dreams to share. Wll, I could live a lifetime just lyin' next to you, and telling you just how much I care.
Well, I'm content to cherish each and ev'ry day we're blessed to share through ev'ry joy and strife. For I can live abundantly on tea, simplicity, and knowing that I choose to share my live.
Chorus
I'm longing to live my whole life with you.
