Long, Long Time

Linda Ronstadt
The Linda Ronstadt Box Set: Disc 2 - Album Retrospective

Love will abideTake things in strideSounds like good adviceBut there's no one at my side

And time washes cleanLove's wounds unseenThat's what someone told meBut I don't know what it means

'Cause I've done everything I knowTo try and make you mineAnd I think I'm gonna love youFor a long, long time

Caught in my fearsBlinking back the tearsI can't say you hurt meWhen you never let me near

And I never drewOne response from youAll the while you fellAll other girls you never knew

'Cause I've done everything I knowTo try and make you mineAnd I think it's gonna hurt meFor a long, long time

Wait for the dayYou'll go awayKnowing that you warned meOf the price I'd have to pay

And life's full of flawsWho knows the cause?Living in the memoryOf a love that never was

'Cause I've done everything I knowTo try and change your mindAnd I think I'm gonna miss youFor a long long time

'Cause I've done everything I knowTo try and make you mineAnd I think I'm gonna love youFor a long long time
