Lyrics Long Time - Julie Miller , Buddy

Cards and letters, meant to bring cheer
Now bring me sorrow, now bring such tears
Words fell off the paper
So I'm gonna sweep away each line
But it's gonna take a long, long time

Streetlight standin', alone all night in the rain
Shinin' for no one, shinin' all in vain
I'm gonna stop wasting my love like this
Because it's a crime
But it's gonna take a long, long time

Call the doctor when your body hurts
But when the pain is in your soul, hey, man nothin' works
Smoke from a cigarette coming underneath my door
Just like your memory, sneakin' up on me some more

But I'm gonna be all right
And leave this heartache behind
But it's gonna take a long, long time

Lipstick on a glass
Somebody wants to look pretty
And wants to forget the past

Someday these tangled thoughts
Are gonna all unwind
It's gonna take a long, long, long, long time
