How Long

[intro: guitar]

Verse 1

I count the stars, I watch the moon

I hum your name in every tune

The clock ticks slow, the nights feel wide

How long 'til I'm by your side

Verse 2

The wind still tells your favorite joke

I find your laugh in words I spoke

I carry love, but not its weight

I wait and wait and wait

Pre-Chorus

How long 'til I hold you

Where time falls soft and blue

No more longing, no more tears

Just the hush between me and you

Chorus

How long, How long

How long til I hold you

Forever starts anew

Bridge

I whisper into empty skies

Trace your name where silence lies

This distance isn't just a mile

It's every breath between your smile

[guitar solo]

Pre-Chorus

How long 'til I hold you

Where time falls soft and blue

No more longing, no more tears

Just the hush between me and you

Chorus

How long, How long

How long til I hold you

How long, How long

How long til I hold you

Forever starts anew

[piano solo]
