In my life I've known lots of sorrow In my time I've suffered great pain My poor heart has often been mended But only to be broken again As I face each new day ever dreaming Of a love that will last for all time Yes, and I wonder as I often wonder How long will I wander this time? As I pause to recall the few good times My memory grows hazy and dim Sometimes I can bring back the faces Of the lovers now gone with the wind And I face each new day ever searching For that someone to have for all time And I know it's impossible So I wonder as I often wonder How long will I wander this time? Oh yes, I wonder as I wonder every night How long will it be this time? So you see, life means a journey Being in show business a suitcase is my only home Sometimes I grow weary but I don't like to complain But I'm travelling this road all alone I may stumble at the crossroads As I leave all my misery behind ('Cos it's all over for me - no more misery this time) And I wonder as I often wonder How long (how long) Ow yeah, how long (how long) Yes, how long (How long) Must I see the old faces (how long) Passing before me, yeah How long (how long) Takes so long, my lord (how Long) Takes so long, my lord How l-o-n-g must I wander, will I wander this time?
