Long, Long Time

(album: The 31st Of February Street - 1974)

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
Bringing back the tears
I can't say you hurt me
When you never let me near

And I never drew
One response from you
Oh why you fell
Over men 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

'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
