Lyrics
Music Dreaming of your sweet embrace Your smile lights up my empty days Without you, nothing feels the same The clock ticks slow time drags on I count the stars till you're gone But in my soul I know it's true My love for you will pull us through I'm longing for your tender kiss Longing for the way you hold me close Longing like a river runs so deep Darling come home, my heart won't sleep Oh, longing Longing for you Memories dance in my mind Your laughter echoes, makes me cry I walk these streets we used to roam Waiting for you to call me home The world is dim without your light But hope keeps burning through the night Our love's a fire that never fades Together, no man, no time has prayed I'm longing for your tender kiss Longing for the way you hold me close Longing like a river runs so deep Darling come home, my heart won't sleep Oh, longing
