Long Long Time - Linda Ronstadt

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 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 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 loss

Who knows the cause?

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

'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
