The warmth in your smile is the warmth that I desire
'Cos it's cold and lonely in this place, oh yeah
And I need to get close to the flames in a fire
And lose myself in yesterday, oh yeah

It's gonna be a long, long, long time
'Til I can be with you again and see your smile
It's gonna be a long, long, long time
'Til I hold you in my arms all through the night
It's gonna be a long, long time

Looking outside and I feel so uninspired
And it rains all through this lonely night, oh yeah
I'm losing my mind and my soul is feeling tired
'Cos girl, you are my guiding light, oh yeah

It's gonna be a long, long, long time
'Til I can be with you again and see your smile
It's gonna be a long, long, long time
'Til I hold you in my arms all through the night
It's gonna be a long, long time

Girl, I've been missing you, I never thought I'd feel this way
All the feelings I have inside grow stronger everyday
Girl, I want you to know that I will never let you go
You're the only one I really want
And there's one thing you've gotta know

It's gonna be a long, long, long time
'Til I can be with you again and see your smile
It's gonna be a long, long, long time
'Til I hold you in my arms all through the night
It's gonna be a long, long time

It's gonna be a long, long, long time
'Til I can be with you again and see your smile
It's gonna be a long, long, long time
'Til I hold you in my arms all through the night
It's gonna be a long, long time

Listen girl, I need you
Are you there?
There's nothing I can do about it
And I wanna hold you
And show you how much you mean to me
Oh yeah 
That's right
Don't you know, I want you in my life, my life, my life
