Lyrics for As the Day Grows Longer Now

Oh, when will you be free My pretty little girl To come and go with me As the day grows longer now See the bird upon the branch See the leaves upon the trail Would you let me show you how My pretty little girl Till the moon shines above But as the day grows longer Where are you now? I don't want to take you far My pretty little girl Still i wonder where you are As the day grows longer now And the evening birds still sing Summer heals the winters scars Would you let me show you how My pretty little girl Till the moon shines above But as the day grows longer Where are you now? Oh, but don't you hear the summer calls My pretty little girl Don't you see at all As the day grows longer now Now there's quiet moon and trees Where the shadows gently fall Would you let me show you how My pretty little girl Till the moon shines above But as the day grows longer Where are you now? Oh, when will you be free My pretty little girl To come and go with me As the day grows longer now See the bird upon the branch See the leaves upon the trail Won't you let me show you how My pretty little girl Till the moon shines above But as the day grows longer Where are you now?
