Long TIme Love

I remember                  
when we met.                  
Sparkling eyes.                  
I was set.                  
                 
We had joy,                  
and lots of love.                  
But now we're old,                  
and love's grown cold.                  
                 
But baby, baby,                  
Stay by me.                  
We have each other.                  
That's all we need.
                 
                 
For me, the pain                  
were presents returned.                  
Seems I couldn't                  
give love anymore.                  
                 
For you,                  
desires and support unmet,                  
how could I tell you                  
the pain I felt.                  
                 
But baby, baby,                  
Don't you know.                  
We have each other.                  
And I love you so.  
               
                 
Now you know,                  
that something's wrong                  
I'm lucky        
To walk at all.                  
                 
Now I know,                  
gifts cost too much,                  
or didn't fit just right,                  
or should have shared first sight.                  
                 
But baby, baby,                  
Please don't leave.                  
We have each other.                  
That's all we need.
                 
                 
I didn't know                  
life could be this good.                  
I need some help                  
to behave as I should.                  
                 
It's been a long time                  
You're still the one                  
You make me smile                  
You bring me fun                  
                 
But baby, baby,                  
Songs are easy to sing.                  
We have each other.                  
Love, what's that thing?  
               
                 
Your eyes are sad                  
We walk no more                  
Life's a ball and chain            
Will we laugh again?                  
                 
We're still here,                  
but love's grown cold                  
We're together                  
and love is old                  
                 
But baby, baby,                  
Sweet songs fill the air.                  
We have each other.                  
Long time love, that's rare.
