The Long Game - Johnathan Rice

I play the long game

Took my time to get here today

Had some good and bad days

I wouldn’t have it any other way

Best to start the long game

When you’re young and spry

'Fore the big black clouds

Take shape in your mind

Make yourself free to see how quickly

This good life goes by

Allow yourself to be happy

And I think you’ll find

Good to play the long game

With you by my side

With my lips pressed to your cheek

And your hand in mine

Now give your love to me, baby

And I’ll give you mine

Let me make you happy

And I swear I’ll try

And you can play the long game

Long after I’m gone

Think of me, drink in hand

Laughing till the dawn
