I've come a long long long long way, oh yes I did 
Since I found a love, since I found a love 
But wait a minute, there's one more thing 
It was so hard hard, yeah, oh yeah 
But I've come a long, such a long long way 
Let me tell y'all by the stars above 
Let me say that one more time, by the stars above 
I used to look here and there...here, there, everywhere 
One day that woman walked into my life, oh yeah 
She said "Don't worry baby, I'll make everything all 
right" 
She went on and she smoothed out all the rough roads, uh 
huh 
With a-lots of lovin' and secure, oh yes she did 
And she gave me somethin' to live for 
I can tell the world, yeah yeah (by the stars above) 
I've come a long (long) long way (long way) 
Ah sometime I'm gonna cry tears of water 
That came runnin' out, oh yeah
