Everybody's lookin' for a happy ending

Before the real story even begins

It's so easy to pretend you're not pretending

Till the naked truth comes walkin' on in



But we ain't runnin' when the truth gets hot

That's how ya find out just how much you've really got



CHORUS

Let's make a long story longer

Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger

Our star is gonna shine, shine even brighter

Believe what we feel, keep it real

Make a long story longer



The seed of love is so deeply planted

Inside the heart is where it lives and grows

We'll keep it safe 'cause we don't take it for granted

Let the hard rains fall, let the cold wind blow



Every storm is just a lesson to learn

Just bring us closer with every page we turn baby



CHORUS

Ya gotta stand the test of time

If ya wanna keep the treasure you find

Some can only dream about forever

But look at us baby, we're creatin' it together



CHORUS

Let's make a long story longer

Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger

Baby, live what we feel, keep it real

Make a long story longer

Let's make a long story longer
