Lyrics
For So long
Written and performed by Howard Lee Naylor
for so long we made the perfect pair
I never met a day we couldn't share
when I thought we sailed on friendly shores
you took me on a ride to the perfect storm
chorus
So long I was in love with you, now your light is gone
nothing shining through
you say you'd been holding on, lord I never new
I didn't have a clue
now somehow it feels so wrong
wondering I'm I still the only one
such a fool whose learned to hold on
for so long
since you've gone still I wonder.... where you been
I fear the a scent of strangers dancing on your skin
every night re-live in the same old dream
the one that leads me too your heart .... again
So long I was in love with you, now your light is gone
nothing shining through
you say you'd been holding on, lord I never new
I didn't have a clue
now somehow it feels so wrong
wondering I'm I still the only one
such a fool whose learned to hold on
for so long
