Oh Sweet Longing Lyrics

Darrell Scott

I dreamed of you in white dress and garlands
With llamas in golden to give you away
With Riesling and huckleberries gracing the table
Teaching the children to laugh and to pray

I grieved for you in the hills of Sienna
I called out your name to the great North Sea
I reached for your hand in a snowfield near Gardner
My longing for you always brought me to me

Oh, sweet longing
I drink from a cup that will never be filled
Oh, sweet longing
I long for you now and I always will, always will

From the foot of a redwood I looked up in wonder
From the side of a canyon in fresh fallen snow
On the bank of a mountain spring I heard you calling
I know I must follow wherever you go

Oh, sweet longing
I drink from a cup that will never be filled
Oh, sweet longing
I long for you now and I always will, always will

I live in the hope you stir up inside me
Filling my heart and filling my eyes
Like a river love flows to the valley below me
I stand on a mountain and hear my own cries

I believe in old souls, I believe in forever
I believe that this moment is all we can see
I believe in the one who calls lovers forward
My longing for love always brings me to me

Oh, sweet longing
I drink from a cup that will never be filled
Oh, sweet longing
I long for you now and I always will, always will
