(w graber) Such a very long time (s macdonald) It saddens me to see it go 'cus I've been waiting such a long time And I already miss it so because it's only been a short while It's walked away it's disappeared but I've been waiting such a long time It's gone away for good I fear and it's only been a short while And I've been waiting such a long time And I've been waiting such a long time Such a very long time (time) My only chance in many years and I'm about to lose it now I'm unaccustomed to the tears that want to flow out I feel like I'm an amateur playing in the major leagues I always feel so insecure and all I want to do is scream And I've been waiting such a long time And I've been waiting such a long time Such a very long time (time) My face is white and my shoes are black and all the rest of me is gray And I can't get my colors back because it's thrown them all away I want it to come back right now because it's only been a short while I lie awake and wonder how I could have waited such a long time And I've been waiting such a long time And I've been waiting such a long time Such a very long time (time) Such a very long time (time)
