Lyrics Colin James – Five Long Years

Well I see ya
Holdin’ hands with your lover
And you’re makin’ plans with each other
It fits real good on you

Well don’t worry
I didn’t come to make things strange
‘Cause there’s a reason that things change
There’s nothin’ we can do

And it’s been five long years
Since I’ve seen your lovely eyes
You girls have grown
She sees right through my thin disguise
You know I still love you
You knew I’d never change
And it’s been five long years and I love you
Just the same

When you see me
Do you remember the times when we travelled
South of the borderline when love was young
Time was on our side
We danced
In the Rio Grande
And we listened to all the Mexican bands
Singin’ songs of love
When our hearts were young, yeah

And it’s been five long years
Since I’ve seen your lovely eyes
The girls have grown
She sees right through my thin disguise
You know I still love you

Oh, yeah
Five long years
Five long years

Five long years
Since I’ve seen your lovely eyes
Things have changed
You see right through my thin disguise

She sees right through me, yeah

You know I still love you
You knew I’d never change
And it’s been five long years and I love you
Just the same
And it’s been five long years and I love you
Just the same
And it’s been five long years and I love you
Just the sa-a-a-a-a-me
Yes baby
Oh yeah
Five long years
Five long years
