Long Enough

LETRA

Long Enough

Where are you?
Where did time leave you?
So far behind you were gone

I hope I could embrace more than your memory
I’d love to hear you calling me once again
“Hey darling, how are you doing today?”
“Hey darling, are you ready to play?”

A few years have passed, but it seems like centuries
I miss the way we used to talk and joke
Now there’s only judgment and misunderstanding
I hope we could twist time, the way we were before

How I wish you could see how I’ve grown
You taught me so many things, so many things
Now that I’m an adult it seems you prefer me as a child
But we are both so alike (both so alike)

Where am I?
What has time done to me?
So far away I am now

Moments I tend to go back hearing Paul Simon’s songs
Great memories come to my head
“Hey daddy, I wanna go faster!”
“Hey daddy, I love you so much!”

A few years have passed, but it seems like centuries
You taught me to be so original
I’ll always be proud of who I am
Guess you’re afraid of how different I am now

How I wish you could see how I’ve grown
You taught me so many things, so many things
Now that I’m an adult it seems you prefer me as a child
But we are both so alike (both so alike)

How I wish you could see how I’ve grown
You taught me so many things, oh so many things
Now that I’m an adult it seems you prefer me as a child
But we are both so alike

How I wish to hear your sweet voice saying
"I couldn't be prouder of you"
I guess there’s no such thing as a perfect kid
But I tried, long enough…

How I wish to hear your sweet voice saying
But I tried, long enough...
Long enough…
