Leigh Harline Love Takes a Long Time to Die song lyrics

It's not over when you stop crying

And it's the end when you say goodbye

And it's not finally done when you just walk away from someone

'Cause love takes a long time, it takes such a long time to die.

There'll be times when you're alone, you'll softly speak her name

Each one's just about left you one time

Day-dreaming through the glass, you'll see pictures from the past

'Cause love takes a long time, it takes such a long time to die.

It's so hard to shut the door

When mem'ries won't stay behind

They'll come around to remind you

There's love still locked inside.

It's not over when you stop crying

And it's the end when you say goodbye

And it's not finally done when you just walk away from someone

'Cause love takes a long time, it takes such a long time to die...
