Karla Bonoff - How Long Lyrics

You say you need someone to love
But when will you learn?
Whatever's done in this world
It's still gonna turn

Oh, down comes the night
Just another forever
How long?

How long til you see that we're in this together?
How long?
How long?

If you weren't so far away
So far from here
I'd make your tears go away
And make you see clear

Oh, you'd see a night when two hearts were surrendered
How long?
I don't want you to be the one I remember
How long?
How long?

Oh time goes by
In the blink of an eye
It's passed over you
There's no time to hide
Won't you stand by my side
I'm asking you

Oh, down comes the night
Just another forever
How long

How long til you see that we're in this together?
How long?
How long?
