Lyrics

Bilingual
The cards and letters you sent to bring me cheer
Now bring me sorrow and so many tears
The words fell off the paper
So I'm gonna sweep away each line
It's gonna take a long, long time
Streetlights standing
All night in the rain
Shinin' for nobody
Shinin' all in vain
I'm gonna stop wasting my love like this
'Cause it's a crime
But it's gonna take a long, long time
You can call a doctor
When your body hurts
But when the pain is in your heart
Lord, don't nothing work
Smoke from a cigarette
Comin' underneath my door
Just like your memory
Creeping up on me some more
I'm gon' be alright
And leave all this heartache behind
But it's gonna take a, a long, long time
ย
Lipstick on a glass
I feel like lookin' pretty
Goin' out and forgettin' about the past
Someday these tangled thoughts
Are all gonna unwind
But it's gonna take a, a long, long, long
A long, long time
It's gonna take a long, long, long time
