Thirty Years Lyrics

Thirty years of missing you

Thirty years of rain

Thirty years with no kissing you

A 30-year refrain

And then thirty years were gone

Thirty years of missing you

And longing for the past

I tried forgetting you

But I never had a chance

And then thirty years were gone

Our time's been gone so long

I don't know how it slipped away

I wrote so many songs

But most were thrown away

I think of all those sleepless nights, no doctor could explain

I just wanted you to stay

I just wanted you to stay

Are we gonna be okay

How could we be okay

Thirty years of dreaming dreams

That never would come true

Thirty years of dreaming about you

But that just wouldn't do

Thirty years of make-believe

Pretending I'm okay

Wondering if I'd run into you

As I'm staring into space

And then we'd share a warm embrace on the avenue

Our time's been gone so long

I don't know how it slipped away

I wrote so many songs, I lost along the way

I walked down many roads

I was nearly led astray

Didn't I ask you to stay

I just wanted you to stay

Life is shorter than a fuse

It's burning at both ends

You realize what matters most

But by then it's too late, my friend

Oh, it's too late by then

Thirty years of missing you

Thirty years of rain

Thirty years with no kissing you

And wondering who to blame

But it don't matter now

It all turned out the same

Our time's been gone so long

I don't know how it slipped away

I wrote so many songs

That had not much to say

So I wrote one more

It's all I have to say

I just wanted you to stay

I just wanted you to stay

I just wanted you to stay

I just wanted you to stay
