about

"Long, Long Time" was Linda Ronstadt’s first hit record as a solo artist. Her 1967 song “Different Drum” was attributed to The Stone Poneys.
This was Linda’s first foray into Country-styled ballads.
At the time this song was released, her backing band included Don Henley and Glenn Frey, who would later form the nucleus of the Eagles. (thanks, Charles — Charlotte, NC, for all above)

Pop star Larry Santos covered this song, written by Gary White, on both his 1975 self-titled album and his follow-up, “You Are Everything I Need”.

lyrics

Love will abide
Take things in stride
Sounds like good advice
But there's no one at my side
And time washes clean
Love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me
But I don't know what it means

Chorus:
Oh, (Cause) I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
But I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long time

Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you trust me
When you never let me near
And I never received
One response from you
All the while you fell
Over guys you never knew

Repeat Chorus

Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you want me
And the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of loss
No one knows the cost
Living in the memory
Of a love that never was

Oh, I've done everything I know
To try and change your mind
But I think I'm gonna love you
For a long long time

Repeat Chorus
