With Me (Ruby’s Song)
Words and music by M. L. Sweeney and Carol A. Blum Ó 2004
Little girl across the sea
Close your eyes and dream
As the jet engine sings
Your life’s about to change
Precious Ruby from the east
Tarnished gems will luster!
Hold on to your highest hope
With all the courage you can muster
Oh Ruby, travel far
I’ll make the trip worthwhile
The odds are on our side
You’ll never have to say goodbye…
Land of plenty stretching out (opportunity)
How’d you get so lucky? (It was part of the plan)
Of a million shining stars (shooting out across the night)
You’re the one who fell on me
Oh Ruby, travel far (wanting you in my arms)
I’ll make the trip worthwhile
The odds are on our side (odds are on our side)
You’ll never have to say goodbye…
So many plans to entrust (expectations flurry)
Trust me with your folding fear (I’ll be right by your side)
I’ll be right by your side
But there’s no hurry
Oh Ruby, travel far (feeling you in my arms)
I’ll make the trip worthwhile
The odds are on our side
You’ll never have to say goodbye…with me
