Testo Be Long

Oh I wish that I could stay with you
at the lake beyond the woods
where our love woke up
in the quiet night
and your sister's children stood

with their shining eyes
they would never guess that we couldn't get along
they could only say that summer
that our days would not be long

be long, day of summer, be long
be long, night of spring, be long
i don't know what you say to me, baby
to make this sound like a love song
i don't know what you say to me, baby
to make this sound like a love song

I remember now
what you said to me
at the house beyond the woods
"if the water rose to the window sill, would you swim me out to shore?"

so behind our love
grew a hurriccane
that leaves me again to fall
in the dead of night I held you
but our days would not be long

be long, day of summer, be long
be long, night of spring, be long
i don't know what you say to me, baby
to make this sound like a love song
here it comes, like a storm blowing cold
it'll take us back where we came from

i don't know what you say to me, baby
to make this sound like a love song
here it comes, like a storm blowing cold
it'll take us back where we came from

i don't know what you say to me, baby
to make this sound like a love song
here it comes, like a storm blowing cold
it'll take us back where we came from

i don't know what you say to me, baby
to make this sound like a love song
here it comes, like a storm blowing cold
it'll take us back where we came from
