Lilac of Lancaster

Rise and shine my lilac I've something special planned Wait now, don't get up too fast Here, let me take your hand I've brought your morning coffee But that's not the big surprise I'll tell you while you're sipping it As sleep fades from your eyes I've gotten us a bicycle One that's built for two It's got a wicker basket And a comfy seat for you Let's go 50 miles The country roads are vast The autumn leaves are brilliant So let's not go too fast You sit on the front seat I'll take the one behind This way I can look at you And dream things in my mind I hear the next town over Has arts and crafts galore Let's head that way at sunset And browse through all the stores I've gone ahead and rented A place for us to stay It's wood-fired and it's cozy And there's two guitars to play There's a great big deck outside in back It's great for viewing stars May I carry you through the doorway And pretend the place is ours? Don't worry about the distance I've done 50 before If you're feeling tired I'll pedal all the more I want to make this special A day for you carefree I'll take care of everything Just come along with me
