How long is forever
How soon is now or never
How long will these heartaches linger on
And how long will my baby be gone

How wide is an ocean
How deep is a devotion
How long do these sleepless nights go on
And how long will my baby be gone

For I could never understand
How she could turn to another man

How much does a heart ache
How deep is a heartbreak
How long do these sleepless nights go on
And how long will my baby be gone

For I could never understand
How she could turn to another man

How much does a heart ache
How deep is a heartbreak
How long do these sleepless nights go on
And how long will my baby
How long will my baby be gone
