The Long and Winding Road Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear, oh well, I've seen the road before
And it always brings me here
Leads me to your door

[Verse 2]
The wild and windy night that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears, crying for all the days
Why leave me standing here?
Oh, let me know the way

[Bridge]
'Cause many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
And anyway you'll never know the many times I've tried

[Verse 3]
And still they lead me back to that long and winding road
That left me standing here, dear, a long, long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Take me to your door

[Verse 4]
But still they lead me back to that long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Oh, please don't leave me here alone
Take me, take me to your door

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 [?]
