Long Long Way To Go (Stripped Version)

You held my hand and then you slipped away

And I may never see your face again

So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside

Without love, what is life?

And anyone who knew us both can see

We always, were the better part of me

I never wanted to be this free

And all this pain, when does it go away?

Then every time I turn around

And you're nowhere to be found

I know I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to you

Oh, I got a long, long way I know

Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew

To you, to you

From memory, there is no hiding place

Turn on the TV and I see you there

In every crowd, there's always someone with your face

Everywhere, trying not to care

Then every time I turn around

And you're nowhere to be found

I know I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to you

Oh, I got a long, long way I know

Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew

To you, I wish you everythin'

And all the best that life can bring

I only hope you think of me sometimes, oh

And even though I feel the pain

I know that I will love again

The time will come, oh, and I'll move on

I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to you

(Oh, I got a long, long way to go) got a long way to go

(Before I can say goodbye) before I say goodbye

(To all I ever knew) to all I ever knew

(I got a long) I got a long, long way to go

(Before I can say) before I say (goodbye to you)

Say goodbye, say goodbye

(Oh, I got a long, long way I know)

(Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew)

Girl, I wish you the best I know, oh, and all of the rest, to you

I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye
