[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 nights that the rain (Washed away) washed away (The windy night, the rain just washed away)
Has left a pool of tears (Pool of tears, just standing there), crying for the day (Oh, don't leave me cryin', oh, don't leave me cryin')
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]
But still they lead me back (They lead me back) to the long, winding road
You left me standing here such a long, long time ago, oh oh
Don't you leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
[Orchestral Solo]
[Verse 4]
Oh, still they lead me back (They lead me back) to the long (Winding road), winding road (The long, the long and winding road)
You left me standing here (Oh, baby) such a long, long time ago (Such a long, such a long time ago, yeah)
Baby, don't leave me waiting here
Why don't you lead me to your door?
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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 nights that the rain (Washed away) washed away (The windy night, the rain just washed away)
Has left a pool of tears (Pool of tears, just standing there), crying for the day (Oh, don't leave me cryin', oh, don't leave me cryin')
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]
But still they lead me back (They lead me back) to the long, winding road
You left me standing here such a long, long time ago, oh oh
Don't you leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
[Orchestral Solo]
[Verse 4]
Oh, still they lead me back (They lead me back) to the long (Winding road), winding road (The long, the long and winding road)
You left me standing here (Oh, baby) such a long, long time ago (Such a long, such a long time ago, yeah)
Baby, don't leave me waiting here
Why don't you lead me to your door?
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
