Drift Off to Dream
Travis Tritt · Essentials [Warner Bros] [2003]
As I sit here surrounded, By people and lights
Along with my drink at the bar
You've been here forever, So clear in my mind
I just don't know where you are
But I know I'll find you, But girl till I do
This is my love song for you
Let's hold hands on the porch swing
Under the moon
While the wind through the willows
Plays us a tune
We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard
And wish for our future
On a far away star
And you'll feel the passion, As time after time
I press your sweet lips to mine
We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn
Till you drift off
To dream in my arms
You might be hundreds, Or more miles away
Or you might be just down the street
But there'll be a hunger, Deep in your eyes
That I'll recognize when we meet
It might take hours, Or it might take years
But this is the song you will hear
Let's hold hands on the porch swing
Under the moon
While the wind through the willows
Plays us a tune
We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard
And wish for our future
On a far away star
And you'll feel the passion, As time after time
I press your sweet lips to mine
We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn
Till you drift off
To dream in my arms
And you'll feel the passion
As time after time
I press your sweet lips to mine
We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn
Till you drift off
To dream in my arms,
