Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm It's been comin' for some time When it's over, so they say It'll rain a sunny day Shinin' down like water I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

It's been a long time running It's well worth the wait It's the same mistake Does your mother tell you things? Long, long when I'm gone? Who you talking to? Is she telling you I'm the one? It's a grave mistake and I'm wide awake Drive-in's rained out

It's been a long time coming now (long time coming now, long time coming now) Oh, I saw everything Here it is, ain't no running now (no running now, no running now) Oh, I've seen it all from a distance (all from a distance, seen it all from a distance)

I haven't been this scared in a long time And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful Please take me by the hand It's so cold out tonight, I'll Put blankets

Call me, when you're home and all alone gurl, Call me, any minute any hour Call me; you can reach me on the cellular Call me; you can beep me on the beeper Ahh baby yeah baby yeah yeah yeah yeah Oow oow oow Its a been long time since I saw you and I'm

I was down but now I can see The pain, the hurt, the misery Oh Lord, it's been a long time The death, the lies, in lies the truth All that it is, what was, ain't true Doing my best I'll try and get it next time This cross you bare I've come to carry for

Doing it like we're doing it now We're staying all night We never slow down I think we better do it like we're doing it now It's been a long time Since we've been around So come on, let's keep doing it like we're doing it Keep doing it like we're doing

And every time I close my eyes And you've got me too (You've got me too) And every time I think of it, I pinch myself 'cause Girl, it's been a long, long time comin' yes it has But I, I know that it's been worth the wait yeah It feels like springtime in
