Ballad for My One True Love

Mason Jennings

Sleepin' in a cherry tree
High above a monastery
Where the bells are ringing slow
To say farewell when hours go

And all the while I'm dreamin' of
The ballad for my one true love
Searchin' for the perfect way to say
I love you

Sweetheart, this is my dream come true
And God bless the babies
That sleep in you
God bless the babies
That sleep in you

Sleepin' in a motel room
Underneath a silver moon
With the windows open wide
I can hear the stars go by

And all the while I'm dreamin' of
The ballad for my one true love
Searchin' for the perfect way to say
I love you

Sweetheart, this is my dream come true
God bless the babies
That sleep in you
God bless the babies
That sleep in you
