many the miles lyrics

There's too many things I haven't done yet
There's too many sunsets I haven't seen
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You would have thought by now, I'd have learned something

I made up my mind when I was a young girl
I've been given this one world, I won't worry away, no
But now and again, I lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light but then love comes in

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles but send me the miles
And I'll be happy to follow you, love

I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love and spreading it around
'Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes
I've learned how to cry and I'm better for that, sing

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, send me the miles
And I'll be happy to

Red letter day, I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking to God, don't know if it's helping or not
But surely something has got to, got to, got to give
'Cause I can't keep waiting to live

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles but send me the miles
I'll be happy to

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, send me the miles
And I'll be happy to follow you, love

There's too many things I haven't done yet
There's too many sunsets I haven't seen
