How Long

How long?
'Til you and I can be together
How long?
Until we see this through

Do you recall that winter evening
The night that I said I'm leaving
Hoping you would change my mind

I lay my head up on your knees
And whispered please but inside I was leaving
I'm the leaving kind

I could put you off forever
This longing has no end

How long?
'Til you and I can be together
How long?
Until we see this through

And when the burning leaves are falling
I can always hear you calling
Fearing we are losing ground

But in you secret hearts we're knowing
Our love is winter and it's snowing
Falling, comfort coming down

I could put you off forever
This longing has no end
Advertising lasts a lifetime
If not now then when?

How long?
'Til you and I can be together
How long?
Until we see this through

How long?
Until we know that this is forever
How long?
'Til I say I love you
Until we see this through

So the thunder in my distance
Tells me what to do
When the daylights turn to darkness
I'll be coming home to you

How long?
'Til you and I can be together
How long?
Until we see this

How long?
Until we know that this is forever
How long?
'Til I say I love you
Until we see this through

Can I say I love you?
We've got to see
