Lyrics

How long, how long? (crying on)
©Robin OHerin 2006

How long, how long, does love last,
When the song is...gone?
I filled an ocean with these tears,
And I keep on crying, crying on.

How long, how long, since the light left your eyes?
Where did we go wrong?
All I hear is the echo of goodbyes,
When did you stop singing our song?

You say that's the way it is, time to move on,
You left me sitting here, singing this song.
You say it's complicated, well,
true love is over-rated,
And I don't miss you baby, now that you're gone.
ooh.

How long, how long, does love last,
When the song is...gone?
I filled an ocean with these tears,
And I keep on crying, crying on.
you know, I can't stop crying all night long,
I just keep on crying, crying on.
I said, Keep on crying, crying on.
I just keep on crying, crying on.
