Lyrics
Long, Long Time
I found myself thinking about you again
Usually it happens when it's raining
Took it as a sign to see how you've been
Just calling, wondering how you're feeling my friend
'Cause it's been a long, long time
But we both know
That sometimes it takes a long, long time
For us to show it
So I'm telling you today
How I've arrived to feel this way
To say you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
And old friends like us belong together...
I've grown so tired of staying mad
If only we could talk like we used to and forget the past
I hope the family's doing fine
Now that you are there with yours and I'm with mine
And it's been a long, long time
But we both know
Sometimes it takes such a long, long time
For the heart to grow
And so I'm showing you this brighter side
For the first time in my life
To show that you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
And friends like us belong together
It would be so easy to give up now
But you and me have to try
So, let's turn our backs on those petty dreams
Let's turn on our backs on those mansions in the sky
I found myself thinking about you again
Usually it happens when it's raining..
