Please don’t get up this morning, Won’t you stay in bed with me, We’ll roll around in cattails Beneath the honey tree. Just tell ‘em that you’re homesick For the place they keep you from, We’ll spend the day like nighttime, Find moonlight in the sun. Why won’t life let us love like we want to? Let us live like God’s first couple, In a garden fit for two. Where love has no beginning, And lovin' has no end. Oh if life would only let me, That’s where I’d live with you. If I could be your paycheck, And our lovin’ paid the bills, We’d give up on this rat race, And run off to the hills. We’d stop our crazy climbin’, Up this ladder with no end, ‘Cause tradin’ love for golden rings Ain’t nothin’ but a sin. Why won’t life let us love like we want to? Let us live like God’s first couple, In a garden fit for two. Where love has no beginning, And lovin' has no end. Oh if life would only let me, That’s where I’d live with you. If God gave me your lovin’, Lord, I’d never need to pray, You’re all I’ve ever needed, To make it through the day. He did give me an angel, Who he made for me on high, But heaven’s still a long way, Until we learn to fly. Why won’t life let us love like we want to? Let us live like God’s first couple, In a garden fit for two. Where love has no beginning, And lovin' has no end. Oh if life would only let me, That’s where I’d live with you.
