Love Is A Long Road lyrics

There was a girl I knew
She said she cared about me
She tried to make my world
The way she thought it should be
Yeah, we were desperate then
To have each other to hold
But love is a long, long road
(Love)
Yeah, love is a long, long road
(Love)
There were so many times
I would wake up at noon
Yeah, with my head spinning 'round
I would wait for the moon
And give her one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long, long road
(Love)
Yeah, love is a long, long road
(Love)
Yeah, it was hard to give up
Somethings you have to let go
Somethings you never realised
I guess I only could hold
For maybe one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long, long road
(Love)
Yeah, love is a long, long road
(Love)
Love is a long, long road
(Love)
Yeah, love is a long, long road
(Love)
Oh
(Love)
Love is a long, long road
(Love)
