Late this sleepy but restless night
As Mr. Sandman sprinkles sand
In eyes that blur, as tired they be
This simple thought comes to me:
Love is best given free
And now I must give in to destiny
and sleep upon tossing sea
But take some cherished dreams
and with me also lasting memory
Thinking: Love is best given free
And to my friends far and near
Whatever is our destiny...
and to lovers whose touch I don't yet know
I'll hold you close to me
Love is best given free
Because life is spinning by quickly
More quickly than we see
and some fail to notice
But are bound to eventually..
Love is best given free
