We could buy a house
Somewhere on the water
Sit outside when sunset comes
And make out by the sea
I'll paint the walls with flowers
And we could get a cat
And wake up every morning knowing
That we're happy like that
And love I've been burning
To tell you the truth
When I picture my life I know
There's no life without you
And love I've been yearning
To hold you for good
And I'll never be whole
Till I wander back home to you
Or maybe in the mountains
Where the trees grow tall
Spend the evenings walking slow
Through the leaves as they fall
Hold me as the sun rises
In the glow of the sheets
And tell me that you love me
No, you don't need to speak
And love I've been burning
To tell you the truth
When I picture my life I know
There's no life without you
And love I've been yearning
To hold you for good
And I'll never be whole
Till I wander back home to you
Too many years without you
They've weighed me down
Too many days longing for you
Heart hollowed out
But just think, a little house
With the shutters dark green
A piano in the sitting room
And a bookshelf for me
Now please don't misunderstand me
I know we're still young
But it's all that I hold to
When the waiting's begun
Half of my heart is yours
And it breaks when you leave
And no matter how far you go
It still cries when it beats
Oh, love I've been burning
To tell you the truth
When I picture my life I know
There's no life without you
And love I've been yearning
To hold you for good
And I'll never be whole
Till I wander back home to you
