I was a child, I thought time was so long
I longed for the days when my growing was done
Then take up my place in the world full of heroes
Always be true to the hearts that I'd won

It's a long, lonely road that we travel
It's a long, lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It's a long, lonely road that we share
It's a long, lonely road that we share

When I finished school, I thought life would begin
My fortune be found and the money roll in
I would live in the sunlight today and forever
Be sure of the glory tomorrow would bring

It's a long, lonely road that we travel
It's a long, lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It's a long, lonely road that we share
It's a long, lonely road that we share

It's a long, lonely road that we travel
It's a long, lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It's a long, lonely road that we share
It's a long, lonely road that we share
And I wait, and I wait
By the sound of your footsteps
And I wait, and I wait
By the sound of your voice

Now that my dreams are no longer my own
All that you say I still travel alone
I would trade my whole life for an hour in your arms
Telephone rings and there's nobody home

It's a long, lonely road that we travel
It's a long, lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It's a long, lonely road that we share
It's a long, lonely road that we share

It's a long, lonely road that we travel
It's a long, lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It's a long, lonely road that we share
It's a long, lonely road that we share
