Come to my bedside,
my darling.
Come over here
and gently close the door.
Lay your body soft
and close beside me
and drop your petticoat
upon the floor.
I've waited for you,
oh, such a long time.
I plan a plan on
every new day born.
Words cannot express
one thing I'm sure of
that it's in my loving arms
where you belong
Your breast has told my ear
life's golden secrets.
Your back has shown
my fingers endless roads.
Your lips have whispered
wisdom that is timeless
'bout life and death and things
that I never known.
Come to my bedside,
my darling.
Come over here
and gently close the door.
Lay your body soft
and close beside me
and drop your petticoat
upon the floor.
Your eyes are bluer
than the mountain waters.
Your hair is flowing dark
and flowing long.
Your skin has more gold
than a morning sunrise.
And it's softer than
the breeze of the summer's dawn.
so,Come to my bedside,
my darling.
Come over here
and gently close the door.
Lay your body soft
and close beside me
and drop your petticoat
upon the floor.
