…havin' all the time in the world and nothin' to do,
Me without you.
Chorus
I've been lovin' you so long
I'm a leaf lost…
…' a string.
It's me callin' in the middle of the night
And it just rings.
Me without you.
Chorus
And I've been lovin' you so long
I'm…
When I been lovin' you so long,
I'm a leaf lost in the wind.
I wanna be so strong,
But I don't know how to begin.
So I keep holdin…

…makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long…
…you know, it's more than I can take
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I…
…' for is gone
Without you, after I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been ... [fade out]…

…makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long…
…for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am…
…am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone…

…makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so…
…for dreamin'
I need you now, it's more than I can take
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long…
…to carry on?
All that I've been livin' for is gone
Without you, after I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you?
How am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone…
