Long, Long Time 
by Linda Ronstadt

"Love will be 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
Blinkin' back the tears
How can I say you hurt me
When you never let me near
And I never drew
One response from you
All the while you felt 
All of the girls you never knew

'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And 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 have to pay
And life's full of loss
Who knows the cause
Livin' in the memory 
Of a love that never was

'Cause I've done everything I know 
To try and change your mind 
And I 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
