The Love I Long For - Vaughn Monroe

Your love is the kind that I dream of,

That i would never possess.

But even still these lips,

Are longing to be crushed beneath your kiss.

For these visions of you,

Lurking in my sleep,

They are waiting in the dark for the time to come,

These secrets I will not keep

Its on the tip of my tongue,

But I don’t make a sound

Love is somewhere in here,

Will it ever be found?

You could be the love that I longed for,

You could be the one,

You could be the one that I long for.

But these visions of you,

They keep me up all night.

If I could sleep,

I would surrender.

To the touch of your skin,

That’s one more thing,

To remind me of your burning splendour.

That only once is enough.

I will always remember.

Well let’s go,

Yeah we can take all night,

And we will rise and we will conquer.

I see you standing alone,

There’s a light in the sky.

Can’t make up your mind,

Won’t you tell me why?

You could be the love that I longed for,

You could be the one,

You could be the one,

The one that one that I longed for

Oh, I think of you night and day,

Oh yeah, I tried to escape,

All that does is standing in my way,

Come on take it away.

Are you ready to go?

Are you ready to move?

Are you ready to surrender?

I’ve got a feeling you know,

This passion will grow,

Into a love we will always remember.

You know the next big thing,

Is the song that I sing.

I can’t keep it in any longer.

Well let love break in,

Let the dream begin.

Don’t you know my heart is growing stronger?

I wish you’d make up your mind,

I’ve never been this low.

Name the time and the place,

And i’ll remember to show.

You could be the love that I longed for,

You could be the one,

You could be the one that I long for.

However you are,

Wherever you go,

Just leave your light on,

And that’s how i’ll know.

You could be the love,

The love that I longed for.
