How Long
Thijs van Leer
How long
Lasts a love
When does a smile begin
How far
Is a dream
From remembering
And how fast? Is a train of thought
And I know how long a moment can last
How high
Can you see in the sky
And does it never end?
And I think that the world was meant to be
Much better than we've ever seen or hoped for
And I say that each time you can be
Kind or mild you'll know the joy to make it better
And I think we must, and why don't we start now?
How white
How clear and how bright
Is an angel's light
And how fast? Is a train of thought
And I know how long a moment can last
Refrain:
Hear, hear
The best of all
I think love never dies
