"The Long and Winding Road" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1970)

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before.
It always leads me here, lead me to your door.

The wild and windy night that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way.

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back to the long, winding road.

You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to your door.

But still they lead me back to the long, winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here (don't keep me waiting) lead me to your door.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
