(lyrics and music by James Seals and Brian Whitcomb, 1980)

From the album THE LONGEST ROAD (1980)

You know the longest road is from the head to the heart
Better start today if you think loving me be hard
And the darkest shade is sometimes under the light
If it's right for you to see me, you'll be mine tonight

And the longest road is from the head to the heart
And the longest road is from the head to the heart

When you're far away from love, you know it's usually close
And anything you find looks good to you, you wanted most
The darkest night is somewhere, just before the dawn
I'll be here to hold when you feel you can't go on

Love helps its own, it can never change your mind Only love can hide you, and you'll see
Love, it only knows the longest road The mind protects the soul, then your heart knows [?]
And the longest road is from the head to the heart
And the longest road is from the head to the heart
The longest road is from the head to the heart
