Five Long Years Songtext
von Colin James

Girl, I see ya
Holdin′ hands with your lover
And you're makin′ plans with each other
It looks real good on you

Don't you 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
Your 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 traveled
South of the borderline?
When love was young, time was on our side

We met 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
You knew I′d never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same

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 same

Yes, baby, oh yeah
Five long years
Five long years
