long long time

Alannah Myles

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
