How Long Have You Been There Lyrics

(Dee Moeller)

I've been walking in the shadows for so long
That I forgot the sun could shine
I've turned away from everything and everyone
That wanted to be mine.

And bridge that I have burned
And clear away the cobwebs
In my heart so I can start to learn.

Just to teach me how to care
Now, I'm standing still and I wonder
How long have you been there?

Now I'm standing still and I wonder
How long have you been there?...
