How Long Must I Wonder

In my life I've known lots of sorrow

In my time, I've suffered great pain

My poor heart has often been mended

But only to be broken again

As I face each new day, ever dreaming

Of a love that will last for all time

Yes, I wonder as I often wonder

How long will I wander this time?

As I pause to recall the few good times

My memory grows hazy and dim

Sometimes I can bring back the faces

Of the lovers now gone with the wind

And I face each new day, ever searching

For that someone to have for all time

And I know it's impossible

So I wonder, as I often wonder

How long will I wander this time?

Oh yes, I wonder as I wonder every night

How long will it be this time?

So you see, life means a journey

Being in show business, a suitcase is my only home

Sometimes I grow weary but I don't like to complain

But I'm travelling this road all alone

I may stumble, fal at the crossroads

As I leave all my misery behind

'Cause it's all over for me, no more misery this time

And I wonder, as I often wonder

How long (how long)

Oh yeah, how long (how long)

Yes, how long (how long)

Must I see the old faces passing before me?

Yeah, how long (how long)

Takes so long my lord (how long)

Takes so long my lord

How long must I wander

Will I wander this time?
