How Long Must I Wonder
Nina Simone
[Intro] / / / / Bbsus4 [Verse 1] In my life I’ve known lots of sorrow In my time I’ve suffered great pain My poor heart has often been mended But only to be broken again As I face each new day ever dreaming Of a love that will last for all time Yes I wonder as I often wonder How long will I wander this time? [Verse 2] As I pause to recall the few good times My memory grows hazy and dim Sometimes I can bring back the faces Of the lovers now gone with the wind And I face each new day ever searching For that someone to have for all time And I know it’s impossible So I wonder as I often wonder How long will I wander this time? [Interlude] Oh yes I wonder as I wonder every night How long will it be this time? [Verse 3] So you see life means a journey Being in show business a suitcase is my only home Sometimes I grow weary but I don’t like to complain But I’m travelling this road all alone I may stumble fall at the crossroads As I leave all my misery behind ’Cause it’s all over for me no more misery this time And I wonder as I often wonder How long (how long) Oh yeah how long (how long) Yes how long (how long) Must I see the old faces passing before me? Yeah how long (how long) Takes so long my lord (how long) Takes so long my lord How loooooong must I wander Will I wander this time?
