It Wont Be Long by Tele Novella Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I told a story, it began and then it ended
And in the middle you were hanging by a thread
Oh I could tell that you knew what was gonna happen
So I changed course and turned the plot right on its head

[Verse 2]
There was a murder, an affair and lots of money
A girl so beautiful they thought that she was still
Oh I could see it in your eyes you thought it'd be her in disguise
But I gotcha 'cause it was always him

[Chorus]
It won't be long before we're gone
There may be no one to remember
In the meanwhile I'm angling to make you smile
And if I do, my work is done

[Verse 3]
I told a story, did not know where it was going
And not to pose, but it was off to a good start
It was a while before I noticed you were crying
Who doesn't love a hero with a broken heart?
[Verse 4]
In the nick of time the loose ends tied up very neatly
Count myself lucky that it made sense in the end
Some of my other stories won't end on such a happy note
But I'll make it so long as we are friends

[Chorus]
It won't be long before we're gone
There may be no one to remember
In the meanwhile I'm angling to make you smile
And if I do, my work is done
And if I do, my work is done
