[Verse 1]
You always got somewhere to go
Your life is filled with revolving doors
It's not a race when it comes to love
Unless it's me that you're running from

[Pre-Chorus]
City girls want it all, but they never can wait
Not so fast, you could lose control
I know we live in the now but we can set our own pace
Take my hand and we can slow dance, slow dance to the radio

[Chorus]
'Cause forever's a long, it's a long song away
Forever's a long, it's a long song away
So won't you please, please let the record play?
Just let the record play

[Verse 2]
You think that life's gonna pass you by
And you feel that's there is just not enough time, time
Why would you stress something that's out of your control, control?
Close your eyes and dream that we'll never grow old , old

[Pre-Chorus]
City girls want it all, but they never can wait
Not so fast, you could lose control
I know we live in the now but we can set our own pace
Take my hand and we can slow dance, slow dance to the radio
[Chorus]
'Cause forever's a long, it's a long song away
Forever's a long, it's a long song away
So won't you please, please let the record play?
Just let the record play

[Bridge]
Don't turn that down be patient with love
Let's keep this in rotation, never let it fail
Never let it go

[Chorus]
'Cause forever's a long, it's a long song away
Forever's a long, it's a long song away
So won't you please, please let the record play?
Just let the record play
