Lyrics
HOW LONG (IS LONG ENOUGH)?
1 - It's a phone call at night
Or a Valentine's card
Little sweet things alright
But somehow it feels so sad
When I drop by at times
I see a hesitant smile
Is it something 'bout me
That just doesn't set you free?
Chorus - How long is long enough, baby?
How long must I wait for you to
Make up your mind about love
That's meant for me and you?
How long is long enough, baby?
How long is it gonna be now?
Are you gonna come home
To me some day soon?
2 - Now you tell me you need
A little space from me
But I tell you you'll be
As free as a bird in the trees, with me
Girl with true love you'll find
Treasure better than a gold mine
If you just trust in me
We're bound to be strong as steel
Chorus
Musical break then chorus and fade
