long, long time

love will abide

take things in stride

sounds like good advice

but there's no one at 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 and make you mine

and i think i'm gonna love you

for a long

long time

caught in my fears

bringing back the tears

i can't say you hurt me

when you never let me near

and i never drew

one response from you

oh why you fell

over men you never knew

'cause i've done everything i know

to try and make you mine

and i think it's gonna hurt me

for a long

long time

'cause i've done everything i know

to try and make you mine

and i think i'm gonna love you

for a long

long time
