Denver McCord – How Long ('til I See You Again) lyrics

It was a warm summers evening early in June,
I thought I knew myself & all I could do,
But a one chance meeting in a hotel bar,
Led to love & understanding girl if you only knew.

That morning I'd packed my things I was headed south,
With just an overnight bag to see a rockin' band,
How was I to know this day would change everything,
(I) didn't know what I was missin' girl, now I'm missing you.

Roll out the clichés,
Cause here's another one,
This is how it feels when two become one,
And all I ever want to know,
Is how long 'til I see you again?

Strangers become acquainted & discover they're soul mates,
Sharing stories, smoking cigarettes, before it's too late,
Her black dress is hypnotic I don't want this night to end,
God this can't be the last glance as I look upon her face.

What if I had missed that train?
We'd have never had met, I wouldn't know your name,
Oh you've changed my ways & this game we play,
I'll never listen to "Desperado" the same way again,
Now there's no going back, I'm good with that,
I'm looking towards tomorrow with the light upon my back, yeah.

Roll out the clichés,
Cause here's another one,
This is how it feels when two become one,
And all I ever want to know,
Is will I ever see you again
