Long, Long Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advise but there's no one by my side
And time washes clean, love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means
'Cause I've done everything I know to try make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time
Caught in my fears, blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me 'cause you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long, long time
Wait for the day, you go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I have to pay
And love's fun lost, who knows the cost
Living in the memory of a love that never was
'Cause I've done everything I know to try change you mind
And I think I'm gonna miss you for a long, long time
I've done everything I know to try make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time
I've done everything I know to try make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time
