Long, Long Time

Love will abide
Take things in stride
Sounds like good advice, but there's no one by my side
And time washes clean
Love's wounds I've seen
That's what someone told me
But I don't know what it means

Because I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm going to love you, for a long, long time

Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me, when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell for all the girls you never knew

Because I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think it's going to hurt me, for a long, long time

Wait for the day, you'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I have to pay
And life's full of loss
Who knows the cause
Living in the memory of a love that never was

Because, I've done everything I know
To try and change your mind
And I think I'm going to miss you, for a long, long time

Because, I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm going to love you, for a long, long time
