A Long Way To Go Lyrics

A Long Way To Go
Skylark Composers: Mann & Weil

( A long... way... to go... d’ y’ know... )

I’ve burned my eyes on the summertime skies traveling a country mile
I drowned my pain in the winter rain and the sweetness of a smile...
I’ve been possessed or maybe I’m blessed by dreams I can’t define
But can’t you see there’s a light in me and I’ve got to make it shine...

Chorus...
Oh, sweet Mary..., Mary, don’t you know...
I may have come a long way but I’ve got a long way to go...

I get through fire… I’ve been down to the wild just trying to find my name
I’ve soared as high as the wild birds fly but I still came down the same…
Now I may feel just a little more real but I’m still more lost than found
But when nighttime comes I still need someone to wrap my love around...

Chorus...
Oh…(oh…), sweet Mary..., (sweet, sweet) Mary, don’t…( Mary don’t… ) you know... (you know…)
I may have come a long way but I’ve got a long way to go...
Oh, sweet Mary..., Mary, don’t…( Mary don’t… ) you know... (you know…)
I may have come a long way but I’ve got a long way to go...

( Musical Intervention )

Chorus…
Oh…(oh…), sweet Mary..., (sweet, sweet) Mary, don’t…( Mary don’t… ) you know... (you know…)
I may have come a long way but I’ve got a long way to go...
Oh, sweet Mary..., Mary, don’t…( Mary don’t… ) you know... (you know…)
I may have come a long way but I’ve got a long way to go…
