Oh the road's been long and winding,
and I, here, patiently waiting,
have clung tightly to your smiling,
ever so tightly to your smiling.

Anxious as I am to go,
Still I'm begging, “Let me stay.
Please just give me one more day;
my Love, she needs me.
See her weeping?
Please just give me one more day.”

Another day passes; here I am,
my Love still proudly by my side.
When I look into her eyes,
I feel as though I might survive.

But alas, my Love, I'm fading,
and I'm begging, “Please forgive me;
I've nothing left to give you
but my love.
I know the road ahead seems long,
but my dear, you are so strong.
And I promise I will see you soon again.”
