I hope it's not gonna be long
No, please
Don't make it long now
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us coming closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get it together
I know you done a lot of wrongs
But I'm willing to forgive
No one has the right to decide
How the other man should live
Sometimes we should stop and count to ten
Before we make each other hurt
'Cause later on, you realize
It really had no worth
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us getting closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get together
Mama, she's taught us for so long
With the right, the fool we teach
And the wisdom in her eyes
Kept me safe through all the years
Made me grow to understand
That there's still good folks around
And to keep me in your heart
Is to be on solid ground
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us getting closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get it together
Whoa-oh, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us getting closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get it together
Oh- nah
I see love (I see love) from a distance
Coming but slowly (coming but slowly)
I know it's gonna last forever (I know it's gonna last forever)
I feel us coming closer, closer and closer
Oh, yeah
It's the time we get together
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
It's gonna get you, yeah, it's gonna get you, yeah
I feel us getting closer (I feel us getting closer, yeah)
It's the time we get together
