BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Long Time

Cards and letters meant to bring cheer

Now bring me sorrow, now bring such tears

The words fell off the paper

So I'm gonna sweep away each line

But it's gonna take a long, long time



Streetlight standin' alone all night in the rain

Shinin' for no one, shinin' all in vain

I'm gonna stop wasting my love like this because it's a crime

But it's gonna take a long, long time



Call the doctor when your body hurts

But when the pain is in your soul, hey man nothin' works



Smoke from a cigarette coming underneath my door

Just like your memory sneakin' up on me some more

I'm gonna be all right and leave this heartache behind

But it's gonna take a long, long time



Lipstick on a glass

Somebody wants to look pretty

And wants to forget the past

Someday these tangled thoughts are gonna all unwind

But it's gonna take a long, long time
