A Day With You

I'd love to spend a day with you And make it last a lifetime. We'd fin through waters deep and blue, And walk bare-foot through morning dew. I'd hold your hand, and say to you, "I love you", in the morning. And then the day would be half spent The morn would turn to mid-day. We'd thank Him for the time He lent, And wonder where the morning went. Into your eyes I'd look intent And say, "My Dear, I love you". When evening sun shall hide it's face And lengthy shadows fall, Together we would take our place In peaceful quiet, face to face, And feel each others warm embrace, I'd whispering say, "I love you."
