#5 in 1974. [Verse 1]
C
Longfellow serenade, such were the plans I'd made,
For she was a lady, and I was a dreamer, with only words to trade. [Verse 2]
                    F
You know that I was born for a night like this.

                                   C
Warmed by a stolen kiss, for I was lonely..

            G7
and she was lonely.
[Chorus]
C                   Cmaj7 C7                  F       C     G7
Ride, come on baby, ride..    let me make your dreams..come..true.

             G
I'll sing my song..let me sing my song..

               F     C    G7
let me make it warm..for..you.
[Verse 3]
     C                                        F
I'll weave this web of rhyme upon this summer night.

      G                                     C
We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight.

                                             F
Then come, and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade..

           C               G7         C
There I'll sing to you..my Longfellow serenade.
[Verse 4]
C
Longfellow Serenade, such were the plans I made.
But she was a lady..as deep as the river.. And through the night, we stayed.
                 F
And in my way, I loved her as none before.

                                           C
Loved her with words and more..for she was lonely..

          G7
and I was lonely.
[Chorus]
C                   Cmaj7 C7                  F       C     G7
Ride, come on baby, ride..   let me make your dreams..come..true.

             G
I'll sing my song..let me sing my song..

               F     C    G7
let me make it warm..for..you.

We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight.

                                             F
Then come, and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade..

           C               G7         C
There I'll sing to you..my Longfellow serenade. (Fade.)
