HOW LONG
Solem/Sterling 2006


I can’t believe another temptation’s
Got me in the middle, the middle of doubt
I turned my cheek but I was blindsided
But blindness ain’t the reason, that I’ve got to shout.

So tell me
How long can I be in your arms
Please tell me
How long can I be in your arms
I need to know
How long can I be in your arms
Until you can’t bear to hold me no more

I should known, should paid more attention
The Devil’s in the details, but I ain’t on his side.
I kissed your lips, but you looked right through me.
You want me to stay, but you leave me hehind.

So tell me…
How long can I be in your arms
Please tell me
How long can I be in your arms
I need to know
How long can I be in your arms
Until you can’t bear to hold me no more

I had a dream, I was lighter than air
And every word you said was what I wanted to hear.
But a dream, will die in the daylight.
Our love is like that dream we’re watching disappear.


So tell me…
How long can I be in your arms
Please tell me
How long can I be in your arms
I need to know
How long can I be in your arms
Until you can’t bear to hold me no more
