SHE’S GOT TO BE FREE

Please don’t wake me late tomorrow.

I can’t wait until tomorrow

To see you in the morning light.

And when I open up my eyes,

I’ll celebrate the morning light.

I’ll celebrate you by my side.

You will wash the plums and cherries.

I will pull the draperies,

Take a look at what is now my life.

I have no more than what I had before,

But you have opened up a door

That leads me to be satisfied.

Now please don’t say I’m just a lonely man.

Because I need love and I want to understand

Why I need your love. I need your love.

We will slide our chairs close together,

Lean towards one another,

You’ll whisper all the things we’ll do.

And I will listen as you speak,

Occasionally our eyes will meet,

And I’ll say how much I love you.

But now you laugh and say that I’m just a lonely man.

Because I need love and I want to understand

Why I need your love. I need your love.

And though she means everything to me

That is all that makes her mine.

She’s got to be free.
