Long Distance Lov’n
© William Cottringer, 1998

Oh babe…
Don’t mean to complain,
but this long distance love’n,
is a kill’n me.

Please help me see
there’s and end in sight.
Wipe these blues from my eyes
and sooth this heart’s aches & cries.

Believe me babe,
been try’n with all my might,
as I lay helpless all alone,
waiting patiently by this phone,
just to hear you sweet voice,
‘cause I already made my choice.

Every day and every nite
it’s a real fight.
This ache’n in my heart,
‘cause we’re apart,
just won’t go away…
and it’s gett’n worse.

It’s just not fair,
those not in love,
being together,
and us so much in love,
not together.

Oh babe I need to be with you,
in your arms
hold’n you
touch’n you
kiss’n you
telling you I love you,
hearing you love me too.

I need to feel your heartbeat
with my hand,
no one else could understand.

Oh babe
you know you’re the one.
I want you,
I need you,
right now,
but how?

I can’t stand it-
you not bein’ here,
me not bein’ there.
Every day we’re apart
claims a piece of my heart.

Oh babe
Come to me
Touch me
Kiss me
Love me
Be with me forever.

I’m sorry I’m so helpless,
but it’s get’n to me-
this long distance love’n.
I can only imagine
your soft touch,
miss’n you so much.

Oh my heart cries
to see the love in your eyes,
to kiss your sweet lips
hold’n you
love’n you.

Oh babe
I need you,
so much.
I want you,
so much,
just wanting you to say
it will be okay.
