Tekster: Buddy & Julie Miller. Written In Chalk. Long Time.

Cards and letters meant to bring cheer
Now bring me sorrow, now bring such tears
The words fell off the paper
So I'm gonna sweep away each line
But it's gonna take a long, long time

Streetlight standin' alone all night in the rain
Shinin' for no one, shinin' all in vain
I'm gonna stop wasting my love like this because it's a crime
But it's gonna take a long, long time

Call the doctor when your body hurts
But when the pain is in your soul, hey man nothin' works

Smoke from a cigarette coming underneath my door
Just like your memory sneakin' up on me some more
I'm gonna be all right and leave this heartache behind
But it's gonna take a long, long time

Lipstick on a glass
Somebody wants to look pretty
And wants to forget the past
Someday these tangled thoughts are gonna all unwind
But it's gonna take a long, long time
