Five Long Years

Colin James

Well I see ya

Holdin' hands with your lover

And you're makin' plans with each other

It fits real good on you



Well don't worry

I didn't come to make things strange

'Cause there's a reason that things change

There's nothin' we can do!



And it's been five long years

Since I've seen your lovely eyes

You girls have grown

She sees right through my thin disguise

You know I still love you

You knew I'd never change

And it's been five long years and I love you

Just the same



When you see me

Do you remember the times when we travelled

South of the borderline when love was young

Time was on our side

We danced

In the Rio Grande

And we listened to all the Mexican bands

Singin' songs of love

When our hearts were young, yeah



And it's been five long years

Since I've seen your lovely eyes

The girls have grown

She sees right through my thin disguise

You know I still love you

You knew I'd never change

And it's been five long years and I love you

Just the same



Oh, yeah

Five long years

Five long years



guitar solo



Five long years

Since I've seen your lovely eyes

Things have changed

You see right through my thin disguise



She sees right through me, yeah!



You know I still love you

You knew I'd never change

And it's been five long years and I love you

Just the same

And it's been five long years and I love you

Just the same

And it's been five long years and I love you

Just the sa-a-a-a-a-me

Yes baby

Oh yeah

Five long years
