There was a young man Watched his life unfold each day He only wanted to play He only needed a ray And then he found out One rainy afternoon, he'd lost All he'd earned and was tossed In the rivers he'd crossed CHORUS: And there he came across the dreamer Who told him life was but a dream And all that you can see is all that you can be There was a young love destined to get old someday Didn't happen that way They never learned how to say We've got a long, long time between us We've got a long, long way to go But I believe if we let it, our love will grow [guitar solo (Joe Tansin)] CHORUS We've got a long, long time between us We've got a long, long way to go We've got a long, long time between us We've got a long, long way to go We've got a long, long time between us We've got a long, long, long way to go Long way to go (Long, long time between us) And I believe if we let it, our love will grow Our love will grow Our love will grow.
