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

Blinkin' 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 fell all over girls 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

Wait for the day

You'll go away

Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws

Who knows the cause?

Livin' in the mem'ry 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

'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
