How Long Must I Wonder

In my life I've known lots of sorrow
In my time, I've suffered great pain
My poor heart has often been mended
But only to be broken again

As I face each new day, ever dreaming
Of a love that will last for all time
Yes, I wonder as I often wonder
How long will I wander this time?

As I pause to recall the few good times
My memory grows hazy and dim
Sometimes I can bring back the faces
Of the lovers now gone with the wind

And I face each new day, ever searching
For that someone to have for all time
And I know it's impossible
So I wonder, as I often wonder
How long will I wander this time?

Oh yes, I wonder as I wonder every night
How long will it be this time?

So you see, life means a journey
Being in show business, a suitcase is my only home
Sometimes I grow weary but I don't like to complain
But I'm travelling this road all alone

I may stumble, fal at the crossroads
As I leave all my misery behind
'Cause it's all over for me, no more misery this time
And I wonder, as I often wonder
How long (how long)
Oh yeah, how long (how long)

Yes, how long (how long)
Must I see the old faces passing before me?
Yeah, how long (how long)
Takes so long my lord (how long)
Takes so long my lord
How long must I wander
Will I wander this time?
