Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You still got that light in your eyes
And our day is comin' by and by
I'm jailed on this long road here with you
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
[Verse 2]
The first time I set my eyes on you, I listened to you sing, yeah, yeah
We didn't have to speak 'cause the words said everything
Yes, you walked right into my life, and we were on our way, yeah
So long ago, but it feels like yesterday, and I just wanna tell ya
[Verse 3]
You still got that light in your eyes, yes, you do
And our day is comin' by and by
I'm jailed on this long road here with you
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
[Verse 4]
Now some of my best memories are days I spent with you, yeah
Each time we hit the road it was always somethin' new
Spaced our rather drunk and singin' in the sun, yeah, yeah
One more bottle dead and a new day just begun, I just wanna tell ya
[Verse 5]
You still got that light in your eyes
And our day is comin' by and by
I'm travelin' this long road to be with you
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
[Verse 6]
Shinin' light, shinin' bright on the days gone down
Shinin' light, shinin' bright on the days gone down
Shinin' light, shinin' bright on the days gone down
[Verse 7]
We won't forget the days gone down
They're writtin' in our hearts, yeah, yeah
And we're as much in tune as we were right at the start
It all seems so much harder now, it seemed so easy then, yeah, yeah
Well, someday just for fun, we might do it all again, I just wanna tell ya
[Verse 8]
You still got that light in your eyes, yes, you do
And our day is comin' by and by
I'm travelin' this long road to be with you
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
[Verse 9]
Yeah
Yeah
[Verse 10]
(Yeah) Still got that light in your eye
(Yeah) And our dya is comin' by and by
(Yeah) I'm travelin', travelin' as well
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
