I Long to Be Near You

[Verse] Sunrise in the morning dew Dreaming only about you Fields and hills are calling me But it's you I long to see [Verse 2] Birds are singing in the pines Loading hay and counting time Mountains high and rivers blue But all I want is you [Chorus] I long to be near you Feel your touch see you smile Through the woods across the miles I long to be near you [Verse 3] Moonlight on the meadow shines Wishing you were still mine Stars above they whisper true Every night I dream of you [Chorus] I long to be near you Feel your touch see you smile Through the woods across the miles I long to be near you [Verse 4] Cold nights and the fire's low Lonely songs and embers glow Still I wait the sky so wide For the time you're by my side
