How long have I been sitting
at this traffic light?
Everybody's horns are honking,
Guess I lost track of time
My mind was somewhere
It shouldn't be
Girl this losing you
Is still killing me

How long
do I have to go on missing you?
How strong
can one memory be?
How far
do I have to go to lose this lonely feeling
that goes on and on, baby how long?

Last night I met someone
and my friends were right,
She had a heart of gold,
she was just my type
But there was something 'bout her
I could see you in her eyes
and when she said hello
I broke down and cried

How long
do I have to go on missing you?
How strong
can one momory be?
How far
do I have to go to lose this lonely feeling
that goes on and on, baby how long?

And I pray someday,
I'll wake up and won't say
How long
do I have to go on missing you?
How strong
can one membory be?
How far
do I have to go to lose this lonely feeling
that goes on and on,
Baby how long.... how long?
