So Long (As We Are Together)

I saw your weeping eyes reflected in the window of a Boeing 727.

You looked down at the city, saw it slowly growing tiny,

As the sunset turned Hell’s Kitchen into heaven.

You turned your face to me, and I tucked your hair behind your ears,

Said, nothing can go wrong,

So long as we are together, so long as we are, so long,

So long as we are together, so long as we are, so long.

And if we’d met today, I wonder if we’d met this way,

Would you have anything to say to me?

Stare out at the breakers, as our silence slowly stretches,

And the storm clouds darkened in conspiracy.

You turned your face to me and I, I can’t read your gaze

You said nothing can go wrong,

So long as we are together, so long as we are, so long,

So long as we are together, so long as we are, so long.

Kiss these lips please, stop words forming,

Just say you’ll stay, until the morning,

And if you go, just give me warning,

Just say you’ll stay, til the morning,

(til the morning, til the morning, you’ll stay).

So long as we are together, so long as we are, so long,

So long as we are together, so long as we are, so long,

So long as we are together, so long as we are, so long,

So long as we are together, so long as we are, so long.
