Life Is Long

I'm gonna love you for forever that's what he used to say
Then you found out that forever ended last Tuesday
And Wednesday things got sad
You got a bender in your fender and the battery's dead
You got a problem with the plumbing and an ache in your head
So Thursday's looking bad
I believe, I believe, I believe that you're gonna survive
I believe, I believe, I believe all that you need is a little more time
Yeah, yeah life is long
So you gotta be strong
Yeah, yeah life is long
Hold on, Hold on
Yeah, yeah life is long
If tonight don't feel right just sit tight
Another morning's on the way
So now you're camping on the couch and you don't go out at all
And the Landlord is the only one who bothers to call
Which means the rent's past due
Your shrink's gone for a week 'cause he's been under such stress
And your mother wrote a letter says she's worried to death
She hopes you'll write back soon
I believe, I believe, I believe you're gonna get out alive
I believe, I believe, I believe all that you need is a little more time
Yeah, yeah life is long
So you gotta be strong
Yeah, yeah life is long
Hold on, Hold on
Yeah, yeah life is long
If tonight don't feel right just sit tight
Another morning's on the way
There is something you can count on 'cause it's always the same
However things are hanging they are going to change
Just wait and see what's next
I believe, I believe, I believe that you're gonna do fine
I believe, I believe, I believe all that you need is a little more time
Yeah, yeah life is long
So you gotta be strong
Yeah, yeah life is long
Hold on, Hold on
Yeah, yeah life is long
If tonight don't feel right just sit tight
Another morning's on the way
