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

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
Long, Long Time was produced by Don Davis.
Larry Santos released Long, Long Time on Thu Jan 01 1976.
