I wake up this morning and I see your face Wonder what I'm gonna do You've been gone so long, but your likeness remains I think it's sad, but it's true I wanna be part of you, baby I wanna know the heart of you, lady I wanna ride into your life And carry you away to be my wife Ooh, yes I do You were here for so short a time, but I know my mind Could not see the light of day I could not believe love as strong as I know Could happen in a light'ning way When I held you in my arms, baby I wanted to bring you home to the farm, lady Show you a life that's free and wild And let you be the mother of our child Lady, I love you Even though you're gone Lady, I love you And someday you will hear my song Ooh, yes you will Ooh, yes you will I look for your face in the light of the dawn I hope you maybe hear my heart I listen for your song in the rush of the wind I wish we weren't so far apart These old, sad wishes are real, lady You were here, you know how I can feel, baby When my time comes to love you again Our souls will be one, our hearts will mend Lady, I love you; Even though you' re gone Lady, I love you And someday you will hear my song Ooh, yes you will Ooh, yes you will And, lady, I love you
