Love on Long Island
Words & Music by Chris Frasco
In a bedroom east of Brooklyn
She lays beside a photograph
A black and white print snapped earlier that day
Another wedding, another blushing bride
And another prince charming taken awayWhen the time is right
I’ll be on the next flight
To show her just how much I careThe day there’s love on Long Island, I’ll be there
She knows this may not be her day
to fall in love
She’ll say that’s ok
But it’s always on her mind
She spends her days posing fiancés into frames
And missing a man she’s yet to findWhen the time is right
I’ll be on the next flight
To show her just how much I careThe day there’s love on Long Island, I’ll be there
How can I be so sure things will go my way
How can I be so naïve
Just friends
Even though I pretend
That on some midsummer night’s eve
When the moon is high
We’ll sit there with a glass of wine
And I will make her believeWhen there's love on Long Island
She'll be with meIn a bedroom east of Brooklyn
She lays beside a photograph
A color print snapped earlier that day
It’s her, It’s me, It’s hard to believe
The afterglow that came out of the grayWhen the time is right
I’ll be on the next flight
To show her just how much I careThe day there’s love on Long Island, I’ll be there
