[Verse 1] I woke up too early one morning late last fall I couldnt hear your breathing, couldnt feel you on my arm Lord, the room was freezing with the window open wide I spent the next month sleeping all alone and on your side [Chorus] Its been a long year And some dark, dark nights Since youve thrown your lasso round the moon And rode it out of sight And I could see where you were headed So I tried to rope the sign But you just burned my lasso up And said boy you got to let love hurt Its been a long year Its been a long year, yeah [Verse 2] I used to think your daddys love advice was always right And he said boy keep moving, youll forget her face with time But he couldnt have been wronger if wronger was a word Cause your memorys stronger than the best advice Ive heard [Chorus] Its been a long year And some dark, dark nights Since youve thrown your lasso round the moon And rode it out of sight And I could see where you were headed So I tried to rope the sign But you just burned my lasso up And said boy you got to let love hurt Its been a long year Its been a long year, yeah [Bridge] With every shooting star that I see I cant help but wonder if youre driving Or maybe youre up in the sea of tranquility waiting on me to be what you need So you can come back down and try it Its been a long year Its been a long year, yeah [Chorus] Its been a long year And some dark, dark nights Since youve thrown your lasso round the moon And rode it out of sight And I could see where you were headed So I tried to rope the sign But you just burned my lasso up And said boy you got to let love hurt Its been a long year Its been a long year, yeah
