You say you need someone to love   But when will you learn?   Whatever's done in this world   It's still gonna turn      Oh, down comes the night, just another forever   How long?   How long 'til you see that we're in this together?   How long?   How long?      If you weren't so far away   So far from here   I'd make your tears go away   And make you see clear      Oh, you'd see a night when two hearts were surrendered   How long?   I don't want you to be the one I remember   How long?   How long?      Oh, time goes by   In the blink of an eye   It's passed over you   There's no time to hide   Won't you stand by my side?   I'm asking you      Oh, down comes the night, just another forever   How long?   How long 'til you see that we're in this together?   How long?   How long?
