[Janis Ian - I Long For You lyrics]

Don't you go don't you leave
We'll be good just wait and see
So many things we never knew
Like you need me and I long for you

I can't bear to sleep at night
When you're not there to close the light
Tell me why the world was born
What good's a world
When the one you love is gone?

Don't leave tonight don't close the door
No need to fight no call to war
We could make it if we tried
A touch of laughter a long goodbye

I can't go but I can't stay
Life changes so from black and white to grey
And old cliches that grow like vines
To choke the heart
Of the one you leave behind

The hollow laughter and empty rooms
The morning after comes too soon
You could make the angels cry
But I can't take a long goodbye

So don't you go don't you leave
We'll be good just you wait and see
So many things I never knew like you need me
And I long for you
