Lyrics for The Long and Winding Road
The long and winding road, oh, that leads to your door Will never disappear, I've seen that road before, yeah It always leads me here, leads me to your door The wild and windy night that the rain, oh, washed away Has left a pool of tears (my darling, my darling) crying for the day Why leave me standing here, let me know the way Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried Anyhow you'll never know all the things that I have tried Still it leads me back to that long, yeah, winding road You left me standing here (my darling, my darling) A long, long time ago, yeah Don't leave me standing here, lead me to your door Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried But anyhow you'll never know all the things that I have tried Oh many times I've been alone and many times I've cried But anyhow you'll never know all the things that I've tried Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried But anyhow you'll never know all the things that I've tried The long and winding road a long time Stopped my trying, oh yes I have Stopped my trying, oh yes I have It's been a long winding, winding road
