Long, Long Time Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Love will abide, take things in stride 

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

And time washes clean, love wounds unseen 

That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means 

'Cause I've done everything I know try and make you mine 

And I think I'm gonna love 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 fell over, the girls you never knew 

'Cause I've done everything I know try and make you mine 

And I think It's gonna hurt me for a long, long time 

Wait for the day you go away 

Knowing that you warned me of the price, I'd have to pay 

Life's full of flaws who knows the cause 

Living in the memory of a love that never was 

And I've done everything I know 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 try and make you mine 

And I think I'm gonna love for a long, long time
