Baby dont speak, save your energy
Just write down what you have to say
Should I turn on the tv? Can I get you anything?
Ill be right here when you wake
I thought we had a million years
And I spent them like youd be right here
Now its coming in loud and clear
Maybe much too late my dear
CHORUS:
How long, baby, how long, have you held my heart?
Hold on, if you can hold on, but if were torn apart
When you cross the great divide, beg Jesus to
Pull me onto the other side, into the arms of you
Sitting here drowning in a sea of our memories
Our first apartment, you on the couch
The way you kissed me, and all those little things
Now thats all I want to think about
God if you gave us a million more
Id spend my life on what life should be spent for
Just let both of us walk out that door
CHORUS
I cant imagine living here without you
So if anything happens, thats what youve gotta do
Tell Pete to open up the gates and let me through
CHORUS
Into the arms of you
Into the arms of you
Just write down what you have to say
Should I turn on the tv? Can I get you anything?
Ill be right here when you wake
I thought we had a million years
And I spent them like youd be right here
Now its coming in loud and clear
Maybe much too late my dear
CHORUS:
How long, baby, how long, have you held my heart?
Hold on, if you can hold on, but if were torn apart
When you cross the great divide, beg Jesus to
Pull me onto the other side, into the arms of you
Sitting here drowning in a sea of our memories
Our first apartment, you on the couch
The way you kissed me, and all those little things
Now thats all I want to think about
God if you gave us a million more
Id spend my life on what life should be spent for
Just let both of us walk out that door
CHORUS
I cant imagine living here without you
So if anything happens, thats what youve gotta do
Tell Pete to open up the gates and let me through
CHORUS
Into the arms of you
Into the arms of you
