[Verse 1]
How many years must a girl be lonely
Before she ever finds her goal
How many years must my heart be broken
Before you come home again

[Verse 2]
How many days must I stay here waiting
Why must I only touch you in my dreams
And how many nights must my eyes keep crying
Forever and ever it seems

[Bridge]
With tender words you said you loved me
You said I touched you in your heart
But those were words to start a fire
Desire's gone without the spark

[Verse 3]
Chance's come but my love stays faithful
Trusting in one who caused me pain
How many years must my heart keep searching
To fall in love again

[Bridge]
With tender words you said you loved me
You said I touched you in your heart
But those were words to start a fire
Desire's gone without the spark
[Verse 3]
Chance's come but my love stays faithful
Always trusting in one who caused me pain
How many years must my heart keep searching
To fall in love again
