For The Long Run — текст песни (Chely Wright)

(Pat Alger/Bat McGrath)

Last night you came home late
You tried to tiptoe in
I sat here for hours
Wondering where you`ve been
You ran into an old friend
And you just lost track of time
When you told me that there was something
About the twinkle in your eye

So I just laughed it off
It`s no big deal
It`s a scratch I know
Tomorrow you`re gonna heal
It`s the easiest thing I could have done
When you love someone for the long run
For the long run

I know I`m no angel
You know that`s the truth
There`s no need to remind me
Of all that we`ve been through
But the good times keep on coming
And the bad ones ain`t so bad
And the worst that ever happens
Is still the best I`ve ever had

So I just laughed it off
It`s no big deal
It`s a scratch I know
Tomorrow you`re gonna heal
It`s the easiest thing I could have done
When you love someone for the long run
For the long run

One thing that you`ve taught me
That I never knew before
No one ever loses
If no one`s keeping score

So I just laughed it off
It`s no big deal
It`s a scratch I know
Tomorrow you`re gonna heal
It`s the easiest thing I could have done
When you love someone for the long run
For the long run

When you love someone
Who`s in it for the long run
