How Long

Greg Long, Margaret Becker

Lyrics

Greg: -Some people talk about forever, Like it's a time that never comes. -But just like days we thought would last, Time goes by so fast - tomorrow's come and gone. Margaret: -Our life's a treasure that we're given, And every hour's ours to spend. -But, every moment that we waste, Can never be replaced and never comes again. Greg: -We get so caught up in the future, That we don't take the time to live today. Chorus: (Both) -And how long does it take to love each other, To believe with every day, there's a difference we can make. -And how long will it take to start all over, If we finally realize we've been wasting so much time. Greg: -What matters most is hard to measure, With not beginning and no end. Margaret: -And we often come so close, but never even know, That we hold it in our hand. Greg: -We get so caught up in the future, That we don't take the time to live today. Chorus: (Both) -And how long does it take to love each other, To believe with every day, there's a difference we can make. -And how long will it take to start all over, If we finally realize, we've been wasting so much time. -And how long does it take to love each other, Greg: to believe with ever day Margaret: there's a difference we can make. -And how long will it take to start all over, Greg: if we finally realize Margaret: we've been wasting so much time.
