Lyrics Alannah Myles

Alannah Myles

Long Long Time

Love will abide, taking things in stride

Sounds like good advice, but there's no one at my side

And time washes clean, love's wound 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 him 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 failed all of the girls you never knew

Cause I've done everything I know

To try and make him mine

And I think it's gonna hurt me

For a long, long time

Wait for the day, you'll go away

Not 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

And I think I'm gonna miss you

For a long, long time

Yes 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
