A Long Way To Go Lyrics

A Long Way to Go — B. Mann, C. Weil

I burned my eyes on the summertime skies
Travelling a country mile
I’ve drowned my pain in the winter rain
And the sweetness of a smile

I’ve been possessed — or maybe I’m blessed
By dreams I can’t define
But can’t you see there’s a light in me
And I’ve got to make it shine

[Chorus]
Oh, sweet Mary
Mary don’t you know
I may have come a long way
But I’ve got a long way to go

I’ve been through fire, I’ve been down to the wire Just trying to find my name
I’ve soared as high as the wild birds fly
But I still came down the same

Now I may feel just a little more real
But I’m still more lost than found
And when night time comes I still need someone
To wrap my love around

[Repeat chorus twice]

[Instrumental]

[Repeat chorus]

Oh, sweet Mary
Mary don’t you know
I may have come a long way
But I’ve got a long way, long way to go.
