Never Is a Long Time

[Verse 1]
Well, If I stall at all or hesitate
The world of always never seems to wait
A comedy that could be so divine
Never is a long time
A shadow born to steal the light of day
You woke me up and said, "come on, let’s play"
Well now I know this never has its way

[Chorus]
You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you, for you, I do

[Verse 2]
I thought I'd done it all, I thought I knew
But nothing ever looked as clear as you
Now every never that I knew was fine
But never is a long time
Now I share this feeling with my dad
Stolen goods aren't always half that bad
A never that will always

[Chorus]
You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The law that caused it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you

[Bridge]
The faded piping on your dress
Will always have its place, I guess
By you, by you
A common love that we can bless
The pleasure of my child’s best
Golden Books and tenderness
Have rescued me from emptiness

[Outro]
You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all
It all, it all, it all, it all, it all to stay
