The Long And Winding Road (Feat.Will Young)
Gareth Gates · Other Songs - Gareth Gates
The long and winding road, that leads to your door,
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before,
It always leads me here, leads me to your door.
(Gareth)
The wild and windy night, that the rain washed away,
Has left a pool of tears, crying for the day,
Why leave me standing here? Let me know the way.
(Gareth)
Many times I've been alone
(Will)
Been alone
(Gareth)
And many times I've cried.
(Will)
Ooh, anytime you'll never know,
(Gareth)
You'll never know
(Will)
The many ways I've tried.
(Gareth)
Ooh..
(Both)
And still they lead me back,
(Gareth)
To the long, winding road,
You left me standing here, a long, long time ago,
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to your door.
(Will)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Both)
But still they lead me back,
(Will)
To the long, winding road,
You left me standing here, a long, long time ago,
Don't leave me waiting here,
(Both)
Lead me to your door...
(Will)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
