Lyrics

Got the news to day;

doc tor said I had to stay a lit tle bit (G)long er and I’ll be fine.

When I thought it’d all been done, when I thought it’d all been said, a lit tle bit (G)long er and I’ll be fine.

But you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone,

and you don’t know what it’s like to feel so low.

And ev ’ry time you smile or laugh, you glow,

but (Am7)you don’t e ven know,

no,

no,

you don’t e ven know.

All this time goes by,

doc tor still no rea son why.

A lit tle bit (G)long er and I’ll be fine.

When I Wait ing on the cure, but I none of them are sure.

A lit tle bit (G)long er and I’ll be fine.

But you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone,

and you don’t know what it’s like to feel so low.

And ev ’ry time you smile or laugh, you glow,

but (Am7)you don’t e ven know,

no,

no,

you don’t e ven know.

All

you don’t e ven know,

no,

no,

you don’t e ven (F)know, no,

no.

But you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone,

and you don’t know what it’s like to feel so low.

And ev ’ry time you smile or laugh, you glow,

but (Am7)you don’t e ven (F)know.

(Am7)You don’t e ven (Fsus2)know, no, no.

So we’ll wait ’til king dom come.

All the highs and lows are gone.

A lit tle bit (G)long er and I’ll be fine.

I’ll be fine.
