Christopher Cross - Long World Lyrics






There's a brand new light in my life
Shines after the candle is out at night
It's gotten the best of me
It's got my heart and it won't set it free

I just can't tell you why
If I did, well, it might be a lie

It's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her

Does anybody know how it feels to want her this bad?
So bad you'd give your life away
There's gotta be somebody somewhere
Who needs someone like I need you

I just can't tell you why
If I did, well, it might be a lie

And it's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her
I just can't live without her

And I wait for the day to take her away in vain
And I realize, I'll always feel the same

There's a brand new light in my life
Shines after the candle is out at night
It's gotten the best of me
It's got my heart and it won't set it free, yeah

I just can't tell you why
If I did, well, it might be a lie

It's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her
I just can't live without her

Well, it's a long world we're living in
And I've got to have her from beginning to end
Well, it's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her

I just can't live without her
No, I, I just can't live without her

    Such a beautiful piece of music, by A very tallent musician stiofan

    I'm Stefanie, age 12, and delighted to be learning more about, and listening to, the music of Christopher Cross. I was in the USA at age 9, and that's when I first heard 'Long World.' I shall tell you what happened. I was there with a relative. We got a little lost. Eventually, we saw a few official-looking people up ahead. We were told, "Hey, you can't come this way right now." And in a kind of field area, we saw what was clearly an alien-looking being upon its back, with 1 of its hands stretched out, as if it had been trying to reach for something after what 1 of the official-looking guys described as "an unplanned landing." If you've ever doubted that aliens and mysterious beings exist. Don't. I cannot say anymore about this. Ain't even gonna name the State. But, in terms of a song being truly evocative, 'Long World,' for me, forever will remind me of that unusual scene. It was on a CD during the car journey outa' there.
