[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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] Many times I've been alone, and many times I've cried Anyway, you'll never know the many ways I've tried [Verse 3] And still, they lead me back to the long and winding road You left me standing here a long, long time ago Don't leave me waiting here Lead me to your door [Orchestral Solo] [Verse 4] But still, they lead me back to the long and 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 [Outro] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
