Long To Be

I long to sit beside you
On a Monday night
I'll pick the place, you pick the time
We'll watch shimmering city lights

I long to hear about your fears
About how you'll move overseas
Retire in a quaint little town
If things don't work out, would it be that easy?

'Cause you see me through and through
Would you just let me in?

I long to be your friend
When days are dark and nights are bright
I long to stand beside you
Even when the storms are raging wide

I long to take good care of you
And tell you when you've had too many smokes for the day
Ask you if you've eaten, if you're doing fine
I long to make sure that you're okay

'Cause you see me through and through
Would you just let me in?

I long to be your friend
When days are dark and nights are bright
I long to stand beside you
Even when the storms are raging wide

Now we're in a soup
And I don't know how to say
I long for, oh, so many things
That we spoke of this May

I long to be your friend
When days are dark and nights are bright
I long to be beside you
You

I long to be your friend
When days are dark and nights are bright
I long to stand beside you
Even when the storms are raging wide

Long to be, I
Long to be, I
Long to be

Someday when this is all over
Promise you'll come to me and say
"Hey beautiful, let's watch the city lights shimmer
Tonight in Bombay"
