Underneath the sky, just you and I
We count the stars as clouds pass by
Hold each other close all through the night

As time goes by, just you and I
You can see the love that′s in my heart
When you look deep into my eyes
Say goodbye, for tonight
In your dreams, little darling, we will be alright
Forever in my heart
In our dreams, little darling, we will never part




Forever in my heart
In our dreams, little darling, we will never part

beautiful

It may not be her passion, but her heart and soul really show in her raspy, beautiful, haunting voice. I read that this reminded some of Jennifer Lawrence's "Hanging Tree" from The Hunger Games. In her own way, (and I'm a diehard HG fan), I agree. I hope Lively gives her fans more of her voice. I think this song is not her top, and still a tender, beautiful delivery.
