Information: Following conventional lyric notation practice, words are broken into syllables to interpret the phrasing of the lyrics. Each word syllable in the lyrics below represents a note on the vocal part of this arrangement. A hyphen '-' or trailing hyphens following a word syllable indicates that the word syllable is extended over more than one note. ========================================================= 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
