Long, Long Time

Larry Santos · You Are Everything I Need [1976]

Love will lie,

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.



Chorus:

Oh, ('Cause) I've done everything I know

To try and make you mine

But 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 trust me

When you never let me near

And I never received

One response from you

All the while you fell

Over guys you never knew



Repeat Chorus



Wait for the day

You'll go away

Knowing that you want me

And the price I'd have to pay

And life's full of loss

No one knows the cost

Living in the memory

Of a love that never was



Oh, I've done everything I know

To try and change your mind

But I think I'm gonna love you

For a long long time



Repeat Chorus
