Lover Lay Down

Papa Rob, like all good college students, fell under the spell of Dave Matthews Band when he went away to college in the fall of 2000. Since then, this Dave Matthews tune has been "our song." You won't hear it on the radio, but every time I listen to it I am reminded of how much our life (and love for each other) has changed in the last 11 (ELEVEN!) years.
High school sweethearts
College sweethearts
Newlyweds
And now, soon to be parents.

I didn't know 11 years ago that that blond-haired, blue-eyed Eagle scout would become my husband and this is where my life would lead, but I can't imagine being any happier than I am right now.



Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me oh won't you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth

Don't be us too shy
Knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you

Look please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hand your hands
So much we have dreamed
And you were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger

A million reasons life to deny
Let's toss them away
See you and me we
Lay down look see
She and he
By my lover's side
Together share this smile
Each other's tears to cry
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Oh please
Look please lover lay down
Oh please lover lay down
And you weep
Lover lay down
Cause it's over
Lover lay down
Say lover, say lover, say lover, say lover, say lover
Could I love you
Could you love me
Darling it's
All the same
'Til we dance away
Chasing me all around
Leading me all around
Leading me all around in circles
