The Longest Day

I've had enough, give me the strength to carry on

Bring me my dove, be my shelter from the storm

Oh let me be, let me keep my life my own

Just let me see a way for me to be alone

I need a friend, I need a place where I can hide

I'm lost again, I need a spell to turn the tide

But like the dog that howls in the night

You fill my broken heart with fright

When I touch you the whole world sighs

When you touch me the whole world cries

The longest day will be forever and a lifetime

The longest day will try your love like none before

But I must stand and I must fight for what is wrong is

now my right

The longest day will fill my life for evermore

Will I lie, will I face the fire in you

Or will I fly, will I find out what is true

I will be there, I will be waiting there for you

And who will care when we have done what we must do

But like the dog that howls in the night

You fill my broken heart with fright

When I touch you the whole world sighs

When you touch me the whole world cries

The longest day will be forever and a lifetime

The longest day will try your love like none before

But I must stand and I must fight for what is wrong is

now my right

The longest day will fill my life for evermore

I could use some love

I could use some kissing

I could use some gloves

Or maybe just some lessons

I've had enough, give me the strength to carry on

Bring me my dove, be my shelter from the storm

I will be there, I will be waiting there for you

And who will care when we have done what we must do

The longest day will be forever and a lifetime

The longest day will try your love like none before

But I must stand and I must fight for what is wrong is

now my right

The longest day will fill my life for evermore
