Lady

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
