Longing

Words and Music by, Nancy Manet

As you lay me down, we become one.
Our love will rise like the morning sun.

I’ve waited so long for someone like you.
You’ve been looking for me, and you found me too.

When we meet, I will touch your face.
You’ll reach for me with a warm embrace.
How could it be, is this true?
All I want is to be with you.

As we close our eyes to sleep, you hold me close to you.
There’s no need for words, our love is deep.

It is the first of many years to come.
Together our lives have just begun.

Gentleness is what we seek.
It’s how we calm our souls, and we’ll find peace.

And though we’re apart, this is just the start.
‘Cause nothing will stop what’s in our hearts.

When we meet, I will touch your face.
You’ll reach for me with a warm embrace.
How could it be, is this true?
All I want is to be with you.
All I want is to be with you
