Long Way to Go
DJ Sammy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Anyone who knew us both could see
You always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free
With all this pain
does it go away?

And everytime I turn around
And your nowhere to be found

I know
Ive got a long long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Ive got a long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye
To all I ever knew
To you

From memory there is no hiding place
Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd theres always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care

And everytime I turn around
And your nowhere to be found

I know
Ive got a long long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Ive got a long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye
To all I ever knew
To you

To you, I wish you everything
And all the best that life can bring
I only hope that you think of me sometimes
And even though I feel the pain
I know that I will love again




The time will come
And Ill move on
