You still got
that light in your eye.
And our day is comin’ by and by.
I’m
travellin’ this long road to be with you.
We still gotta long
way.
we still gotta long way to go.
The first time I set eyes on
you.
and I listened to you sing, yeah yeah.
We didn’t have to speak
cause the words said everything.
Yes you walked right into my
life.
and we were on our way, yeah.
So long ago, but it feels like
yesterday.
And I just wanna tell you...
You still got that
light in your eye.
(yes you do).
And our day is comin’ by and
by.
I’m travellin’ this long road to be with you.
We still gotta
long way.
we still gotta long way to go.
Now some of my best
memories are days I spent with you, yeah.
Each time we hit the road it
was always somethin’ new.
Spaced out rather drunk.
And singin’ in
the sun, yeah yeah.
One more bottle dead and a new day just
begun.
I just wanna tell you...
You still got that light in
your eye.
And our day is comin’ by and by.
I’m travellin’ this long
road to be with you.
We still gotta long way.
we still gotta long
way to go.
Shinin’ light, shinin’ bright on the days gone
down.
Shinin’ light, shinin’ bright on the days gone down.
Shinin’
light, shinin’ bright on the days gone down.
We won’t forget the
days gone down.
they’re written in our hearts, yeah yeah.
And we’re
as much in tune as we were right at the start.
It all seems so much
harder now.
it seemed so easy then, yeah yeah.
Well.
someday just
for fun we might do it all again.
I just wanna tell
you...
You still got that light in your eye.
(yes you
do).
And our day is comin’ by and by.
I’m travellin’ this long road
to be with you.
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to
go.
Yeah yeah still got that light in your eye.
And our day is
comin’ by and by.
I’m travellin’, travellin’.
(yeah yeah).
We
still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.

Out on the street.
I was talkin’ to a man.
He
said.
"there’s so much of this life of mine that I don’t
understand".
You shouldn’t worry.
yes.
that ain’t no
crime.
Cause if you get it wrong.
you’ll get it right next
time.
(next time).
You need direction.
yeah.
you need a
name.
When you’re standing in the crossroads every highway.
looks
the same.
After a while you can recognize the signs.
So if you get
it wrong.
you’ll get it right next time.
(next time).
Life is
a liar.
yeah.
life is a cheat.
It’ll lead you on and pull the
ground from underneath your feet.
No use complainin’.
don’t you
worry, don’t you whine.
Cause if you get it wrong.
you’ll get it
right next time.
(next time).
You gotta grow, you gotta learn by
your mistakes.
You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay
awake.
When you believe there’s no mountain you can climb.
And if
you get it wrong.
you’ll get it right next time.
(next
time).
Next time,
hmmmmm.

It's Gonna Be a Long
Night
Gerry Rafferty
Starin’ at the moon
again.
Yes.
you been out on the loose.
You still feel like a
haunted man.
This kinda life just ain’t no use.
It’s gonna be a
long night.
Waitin’ for the first light.
It’s gonna be a long
night.
You sit around and talk awhile.
You go stealin’ like a
thief.
The silence kills and the talk is cheap.
And you don’t get no
relief.
It’s gonna be a long night.
Waitin’ for the first
light.
It’s gonna be a long night.
She left her calling
card.
And said her last goodbyes.
She found a way into your
heart.
And you lie there wondering why.
Gonna be a long
night.
Waitin’ for the first light.
It’s gonna be a long
night.
It’s gonna be a long night.
Waitin’ for the first
light.
It’s gonna be a long long long long lonely night.
You sit
around and talk awhile.
You go stealin’ like a thief.
The silence
kills and the talk is cheap.
And you don’t get no relief.
It’s
gonna be a long night.
Waitin’ for the first light.
It’s gonna be a
long night.
It’s gonna be a long night.
Waitin’ for the first
light.
It’s gonna be a long night.
It’s gonna be a long
night.
Waitin’ for the first light.
It’s gonna be a long
night.
