The Longest Road lyrics

(lyrics and music by James Seals and Brian Whitcomb, 1980)
From the album THE LONGEST ROAD (1980).
You know the longest road is from the head to the heart.
Better start today if you think loving me be hard.
And the darkest shade is sometimes under the light.
If it's right for you to see me, you'll be mine tonight.
And the longest road is from the head to the heart.
And the longest road is from the head to the heart.
When you're far away from love, you know it's usually close.
And anything you find looks good to you, you wanted most.
The darkest night is somewhere, just before the dawn.
I'll be here to hold when you feel you can't go on.
Love helps its own, it can never change your mind. Only love can hide you, and you'll see.
Love, it only knows the longest road. The mind protects the soul, then your heart knows [?].
And the longest road is from the head to the heart.
And the longest road is from the head to the heart.
The longest road is from the head to the heart. . .
