Love You Longer - Erica Padilla

I said, "Hey," you just smiled Song played on, we talked for a while Your hair was up, your skin was tan My heart skipped a beat when you touched my hand That September sun went to sinking real slow When the moon went to creeping up high Leaned in for a kiss and you ended up in My arms for the rest of my life I'll love you longer than the Mississippi River Stronger than a wind in the winter Better than a Hemingway novel Right hand down on the Bible I'm all yours, all the time Through your lowest lows and your highest highs It's a long ride from here to forever But girl, I'll love you longer Yeah You fit right in when I brought you home Mama said, "Boy, don't you let her go" Don't worry, mama, I ain't that crazy That girl right there, she ain't no maybe So I worked a little more and I slept a little less Put a little back every paycheck Took you out one night and, girl, you cried When I hit one knee and said I'll love you longer than the Mississippi River Stronger than a wind in the winter Better than a Hemingway novel Right hand down on the Bible I'm all yours, all the time Through your lowest lows and your highest highs It's a long ride from here to forever But, girl, I'll love you longer Yeah Yeah, I'm gonna get a little house, porch and a swing Love on the line and the world on a string Writing our story, living the dream Just you and me I'll love you longer than the Mississippi River Stronger than a wind in the winter Better than a Hemingway novel Right hand down on the Bible I'm all yours, all the time Through your lowest lows and your highest highs It's a long ride from here to forever But, girl, I'll love you longer Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah I'll love you longer (I'm gonna get a little house, porch and a swing) (Love on the line and the world on a string) (Writing our story, living the dream) (Just you and me)

(Wish I'd have met you, wish I'd have met you, wish I'd have met you sooner) (I could've loved you, I could've loved you, I could've loved you longer) We were both downtown Different sides of the same crowd Wasn't even gonna go out Stay that late You wrote your number on a napkin Without me even asking Still feels like it happened Just yesterday And I know we got forever, babe So I got no reason to complain There's nothin' about us that I'd change Except one thing Wish I'd had met you sooner So I could've loved you longer Wish I'd had spent it on you Instead of wasting all that time All of our favorite memories Will go back a little bit further Wish I'd had met you sooner So I could've loved you, I could've loved you longer Forever, forever, we can love forever, forever, we can love forever, forever, you and I We can love forever, forever, we can love forever, forever, we can love forever, forever So I could've loved you I could've loved you longer All of those sunsets, I bet they would've looked better Shining in your eyes, with your hand in mine And all of those lonely nights, they could've been together Could've felt like this everytime we kiss Can't help it out Wish I'd had met you sooner So I could've loved you longer Wish I'd had spent it on you Instead of wasting all that time All of our favorite memories Will go back a little bit further Wish I'd had met you sooner So I could've loved you, I could've loved you longer Forever, forever, we can love forever, forever, we can love forever, forever, you and I We can love forever, forever, we can love forever, forever, we can love forever, forever So I could've loved you I could've loved you sooner So I could've loved you longer Wish I had spent it on you Instead of wasting all that time All of our favorite memories Will go back a little bit further Wish I'd had met you sooner So I could've loved you, I could've loved you longer

Found your note you left out on the table. "Workin' late again, don't wait up for me." We don't spend time together like we used to. An' I'm tired of wakin' up in misery. When you love me, love me just a little bit longer. When you hold me, hold me tight and don't let go. When you kiss me, kiss me like there's no tomorrow. Everything, everything'll be all right. We can't build out lives on separate highways. Payin' for the things we can't afford. Now it might take some time to make it better, But we've been down some bad road before. But if you love me, love me just a little bit longer. When you hold me, hold me tight and don't let go. When you kiss me, kiss me like there's no tomorrow. Everything, everything'll be all right. Instrumental break. When you love me, love me just a little bit longer. When you hold me, hold me tight and don't let go. When you kiss me, kiss me like there's no tomorrow. Everything, everything'll be all right. Oh, no now baby, everything, everything will be all right.

I don't need the expectation of revolving my time and patience 'round what you need And I don't need the imitation of what it feels like to mean something to somebody 'Cause I don't wanna be stuck hoping that I'm enough You're better off with someone that gives you all that you want It's easier to feel numb just to protect my own heart For my own sake and I can't handle being swept up in your storm I don't need, I don't need feelings I get caught up and keep dreaming Maybe I'm too scared of falling in love and losing part of myself again I don't need someone to hold me Even through nights when I can't sleep 'Cause I don't wanna take the risk Of craving your touch and your kiss No I don't need feelings No I don't need feelings Think you know me and all my secrets but it takes a lot for me too let my guard down Can't let this get too deep 'cause I'll get lost in it Didn't mean for us to let it get so far I don't need, I don't need feelings I get caught up and keep dreaming Maybe I'm too scared of falling in love and losing part of myself again I don't need someone to hold me Even through nights when I can't sleep 'Cause I don't wanna take the risk Of craving your touch and your kiss No I don't need feelings No I don't need feelings I don't need, I don't need feelings I get caught up and keep dreaming Maybe I'm too scared of falling in love and losing part of myself again I don't need someone to hold me Even through nights when I can't sleep 'Cause I don't wanna take the risk Of craving your touch and your kiss No I don't need feelings No I don't need feelings I don't need feelings No I don't need feelings
