This is my favorite Phil Keaggy song of all time - and that's saying a lot, as he has an incredible number of fantastic songs, whether vocal or instrumental. This simple "love song for the Savior" is the one that takes the cake for me. These are the official chords for the song, except that the chords have been simplified. This song sounds great with these chords, but this is only the beginning as far as this song goes. Phil Keaggy's official recordings of this song are as rich, beautiful, and complex as you could ever ask for, and you could "spend your life" learning this song as it should be played. If you want to see and hear the best performance of this song that has ever been recorded (in my opinion), check out this YouTube video (and the epic 'stache!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTnWskknQRc The original recorded version (on the album Ph'lip Side) is here: http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxXGT3zJpVs Phil Keaggy's beautiful instrumental version from his Acoustic Sketches album is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHI0RKV1OSA Spend My Life With You - Phil Keaggy
DLay me down to rest, CSing me a Gsweet lullabAy, GWhen will I Gsee you Dagain? Sleep come over me, CCan't keep from Gclosing my Aeyes. GThe day is gonDe, but GYou'll carry Con, DWatching, protectGing me Einto the Ddawn. Hmmm… Then anEmother day to spend my life with yoDu.
AsusCause there's a Emhope in my Dheart And I beliEmeve the day is coming WEhen Dwe'll neGver be aparAt. Just to bEme… where Dyou are, AGnd to spend my lifBme with you would beE a perfect Gstart.
DSee you when I rise, CMorning will bGring me your sonAg GOver and Gover agaiDn. Shine Your light on me, CWash me in Gresplendent lAove. TGhere is no shaDme, with GYou as my aCim. DYesterday, Gtoday, Eforever the sDame. Hmmm… And I oEmnly want to spend my life with youD.
AsusCause there's a Emhope in my Dheart And I beliEmeve the day is coming WEhen Dwe'll neGver be aparAt. Just to bEme… where Dyou are, AGnd to spend my lifBme with you would beE a perfect Gstart.
