Jerry Jeff Walker - Long, Long Time lyrics

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
