Lyrics

[Verse]
Saw her in the evening light, her hair a golden flame,
Sittin' on the front porch swing, whisperin' my name,
Ava with her gentle grace, like a summer breeze,
My heart's achin' from afar, wishin' she's with me.

[Verse 2]
Every time she walks on by, the world just fades away,
Stars hangin' over us, turnin' night to day,
Ava’s laugh is melody, in the still of night,
But she don't know my heart, I'm hidden out of sight.

[Chorus]
Oh Ava, darling, if you only knew,
Every dream I dream, it’s always you,
Your sweet smile lightin’ up the dark,
From afar, I cherish you, oh Ava, my heart.

[Verse 3]
Saw her at the market place, pickin' out fresh blooms,
Humming to a tune so sweet, dispelling all my glooms,
Ava's eyes like clear blue skies, calm and soothing seas,
How I wish to hold her close, just to feel at ease.

[Verse 4]
In the quiet of the night, she’s dancing in my dreams,
Whispering sweet nothings, or so it always seems,
Ava stands a world away, our paths never meet,
Lonely is the man who loves, from a distant street.

[Chorus]
Oh Ava, darling, if you only knew,
Every dream I dream, it’s always you,
Your sweet smile lightin’ up the dark,
From afar, I cherish you, oh Ava, my heart.
