Longfellow Serenade - Neil Diamond
=========================================================
INTRO . . . . . .
Long-fel-low Ser-en-ade
Such were the plans I'd made
For she was a la-dy and I was a
dream-er with on-ly words to trade
You know that I was born
for a night like this
Warmed by a stol-en kiss
For - I was lone-ly
and she was lone-ly
Ride, come on ba-by ride
Let me make your dreams come true
I sing my song, let me sing my song
Let me make it warm for you
I weave this web of rhyme
u-pon the sum-mer night
We leave this world-ly time
on his wing-ed flight
And come and as we lay
by this sleep--y glade
There I will sing to you my
long-fel-low ser-en-ade
Long-fel-low Ser-en-ade
Such were the plans I'd made
For she was a la-dy as deep as the
riv-er and through the night we stayed
And in my way I loved
her as none be-fore
Loved her with words and more
For - she was lone-ly
and I was lone-ly
Ride, come on ba-by ride
Let me make your dreams come true
I sing my song, let me sing my song
Let me make it warm for you
I weave this web of rhyme
u-pon the sum-mer night
We leave this world-ly time
on his wing-ed flight
And come and as we lay
be-side this sleep-y glade
There I will sing to you my
long-fel-low ser-en-ade
Weave - your web of rhyme
u-pon our sum-mer night
We leave this word-ly time
on your wing-ed flight
And come and as we lay
be-side this sleep-y glade
There I will sing to you
long-fel-low ser-en-ade
