So Long (Tango) |
LyricsSO LONGMark Patterson & Lee Parvin © 2017 Let me tell you a secret Been around the wheel a few times Always did my damnedest To see the reason and the rhyme And while the story's still unfolding The conclusion is forgone So in case I don't see you Think of this as so long So long And there's a town in Argentina we escape to In the remake of our tale Where we learn to dance the Tango And we're not so prone to fail Where there's a whole lot more at stake than Who's right and who's in the wrong But no one's handing out second chances So think of this as so long So long As bad as we ended You still remind me of all that's good I tried to find you several times in El Rosario But I never could And all the poetry I would pen for you And all those melancholy songs They're for someone else to write now Think of this as so long And there's a town in Argentina we escape to In the remake of our tale Where we learn to dance the Tango And I'm not the one to fail Where harmony surrounds us Isn't that where we belong But since I'm out of second chances Think of this as so long So long Oh so long Oh oh oh so long |
