Seems Like A Long Time - Rickie Lee Jones

Nighttime is only the other side of daytime

But if you’ve ever waited for the sun

You know what it’s like to wish daytime would come

And don’t it seem like a long time

Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time

Hard times are only the other side of good times

But if you ever wished hard times were gone

You know what it’s like to wish good times would come

And don’t it seem like a long time

Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time

Help me, seems like a long time

Seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time

And don’t it seem like a long time

Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time

And don’t it seem like a long time

Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time

And don’t it seems like a long time

Seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time

You know it makes me sad

Seems like a long time, seems like a long time

Seems like a long, long time

Wartime is only the other side of peace time

But if you’ve ever seen how wars are won

You know what it’s like to wish peacetime would come

And don’t it seem like a long time

Seem like a long time, seems like a long, long time
