[Verse 1]
I've come a long, long, long, long way, oh yes, I did
Since I found a love, mhm, 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 ways
Let me tell y'all by the stars above
Let me say that one more time, by the stars above

[Bridge]
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'm gon' make everything alright"

[Verse 2]
Oh, she went on and she smoothed out all the rough roads, uh-huh
With lots of lovin' and secure, oh yes, she did
And she gave me something to live for
I can tell the world, yeah (By the stars above)

[Outro]
I've come a long (Long, long) long way (Long way)
Ah (Long), sometime (Long) I'm gonna cry tears of water (Long way)
I came runnin' out (Long), oh yeah (Long), oh (Long way)
