In the daily rush of things if we stop to think it seems

We never have time alone

Doin' things we have to do, not much time for me and you

Before we know it, it will all be gone.

Chorus:

Let's take the long way around the world

Sharing each other as we go

Let's take the long way around the world

And let's take it real slow.

I get hungry just to talk, take your hand and take a walk

I never have you to myself enough

The two of us are really one and when it's all said and done

The only thing that really lasts is love.

Chorus:

Let's take the long way around the world

Sharing each other as we go

Let's take the long way around the world

And let's take it real slow...
