So Long

So Long – Music and Lyric by Steve Bell 

I’ve been sitting here for hours
Trying to think of things to say while I’m singing
To find a different way to say I love you in a song
Could take awhile
And in my efforts to create the words
My imagination leaves me only dreaming
Maybe if I go to sleep the hours we spend apart
Won’t seem so long
So long

Well the writer of a love song
Tries to judge the tide of feelings for his Lady
He has to bare the secrets of the spirit he’s ignored
For quite awhile
And if I had to figure out the doubts
That followed me around I’d go crazy
Amazing how your gentle heart
Has told me why I’ve loved you for so long
