In the daily rush of things if we stop to think it seems
We never have time alone
Doin' things we have to do, not much time for me and you
Before we know it, it will all be gone.

Chorus:
Let's take the long way around the world
Sharing each other as we go
Let's take the long way around the world
And let's take it real slow.

I get hungry just to talk, take your hand and take a walk
I never have you to myself enough
The two of us are really one and when it's all said and done
The only thing that really lasts is love.

Chorus:
Let's take the long way around the world
Sharing each other as we go
Let's take the long way around the world
And let's take it real slow...
