A Long Way To Go

A Long Way To Go

Skylark Composers: Mann & Weil



( A long... way... to go... d' y' know... )



I've burned my eyes on the summertime skies traveling a country mile

I drowned my pain in the winter rain and the sweetness of a smile...

I've been possessed or maybe I'm blessed by dreams I can't define

But can't you see there's a light in me and I've got to make it shine...



Chorus...

Oh, sweet Mary..., Mary, don't you know...

I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go...



I get through fire, I've been down to the wild just trying to find my name

I've soared as high as the wild birds fly but I still came down the same,

Now I may feel just a little more real but I'm still more lost than found



But when nighttime comes I still need someone to wrap my love around...



Chorus...

Oh,(oh,), sweet Mary..., (sweet,

sweet) Mary, don't,( Mary don't, ) you know... (you know,)

I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go...

Oh, sweet Mary..., Mary, don't,( Mary don't, ) you know... (you know,)

I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go...



( Musical Intervention )



Chorus,

Oh,(oh,), sweet Mary..., (sweet,

sweet) Mary, don't,( Mary don't, ) you know... (you know,)

I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go...

Oh, sweet Mary..., Mary, don't,( Mary don't, ) you know... (you know,)

I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go,
