The Long and Winding Road Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know the many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back to the long and windin' road
You left me standin' here a long, long time ago
Don't keep me waitin' here, lead me to your door

[Saxophone Solo]
Oh!

[Verse 2]
Wild and windy night that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears cryin' for the day
Don't leave me waitin' here (Don't keep me waitin')
Let me know the way (Ooh)

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
