Long Long Time Lyrics

Long, long time
by Melanie Safka

Love will abide
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

Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And 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 hurt me
When you never let me near

And I never drew
One response from you
All the while you fell
Over girls you never knew Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me
For a long, long time

Wait for the day, You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me
Of the price I'd have to pay

And life's full of loss
Who knows the cost
Living in the memory
Of a love that never was

Cause I've done everything I know
To try and change your mind
AndI think I'm gonna miss you
For a long, long time

Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long time
