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 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) I wonder as I often wonder How long - how long - yes, how long must I see the old faces passing before me How long (takes so long my lord, takes so long my lord) How l-o-n-g must I wander, will I wander this time?
