Christopher Cross

Long World

There's a brand new light in my life

Shines after the candle is out at night

It's gotten the best of me

It's got my heart and it won't set it free

I just can't tell you why

If I did, well, it might be a lie

It's a long world we're living in

I've got to have her from beginning to end

It's a long world we're living in

I just can't live without her

Does anybody know how it feels to want her this bad?

So bad you'd give your life away

There's gotta be somebody somewhere

Who needs someone like I need you

I just can't tell you why

If I did, well, it might be a lie

And it's a long world we're living in

I've got to have her from beginning to end

It's a long world we're living in

I just can't live without her

I just can't live without her

And I wait for the day to take her away in vain

And I realize, I'll always feel the same

There's a brand new light in my life

Shines after the candle is out at night

It's gotten the best of me

It's got my heart and it won't set it free, yeah

I just can't tell you why

If I did, well, it might be a lie

It's a long world we're living in

I've got to have her from beginning to end

It's a long world we're living in

I just can't live without her

I just can't live without her

Well, it's a long world we're living in

And I've got to have her from beginning to end

Well, it's a long world we're living in

I just can't live without her

I just can't live without her

No, I, I just can't live without her
