Years Gone By

Eleven years I've known you.
For eleven years I've cried.
It's been eleven years since that first day
Eleven years my heart's been open wide.

For eleven years I have wanted you
To be my own.
It's been eleven years
That my love for you has grown.

Eleven years is a long time
To be in love with someone.
For eleven years
Dreaming of you is all I've done.

It's been eleven years
Since the day we met.
Eleven years,
And to find someone better, I have yet.
