Otis Lyrics

The tide rolled away and never came back in

The loneliness lingered with no sign of the end

With pain in my heart when you say he's just a friend

I'm not wasting time now but I must have been back then

Nothing but sorrow from the dock down to the bay

Can't make it til tomorrow please come back here today

With pain in my heart when you say he's just a friend

I'm not wasting time now but must have been back then

With dreams to remember, I've been loving you for so long

I know you get tired and get weary of these arms of mine

But they still long to hold you and bring you happiness and sunshine

With dreams to remember, my love for you is still strong

And I just don't know how, I've been loving you for too long

To let it go now
