Long World Lyrics

Words and music by Christopher Cross

There's a brand new light in my life
Shines after the candle is out at night
It's gotten the best of me
It's got my heart and it won't set it free
I just can't tell you why
If I did, well it might be a lie

It's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's long world we're living in
I just can't live without her

Does anybody know how it feels to want her this bad
So bad you'd give your life away
There's gotta be somebody somewhere
Who needs someone like I need you

And I wait for the day to take her away in vain
And I realize I'll always feel the same
