lyrics

Girl, Keep on smiling
Even when times are trying
Boats out on the horizon
Sun set, sun rising

Love takes a long long time
Na na na na na na
And finds you in a while
Na na na na na na

Boys, keep on trying
Every Knight sacrificing
There's a rouge on the ride in
Steals her heart just like lightning but

Love takes a long long time
Na na na na na na
And finds you in due time
Na na na na na na

Friday night up in your tower
Let down your hair
I've played the dragon
My lady fair

Gotta keep your cool on
Even when you've been let down
Girl, take a look down
He's climbing up your tower now

Love takes a long long time
Na na na na na na
And finds you in due time
Na na na na na na
