Before too long, the one that you're loving Will wish that they'd never met you Before too long, he who is nothing Will suddenly come into view So let the time keep rolling on It's on my side Lonely nights will soon be gone High is the tide Before too long, we'll be tonight And no one will tear us apart Before too long, the words will be spoken I know all the action by heart As the nighttime follows day I'm closing in Every dog will have his day Any dog can win Shut the shade, do not fear anymore Here I come, creeping 'round your back door Before too long Before too long As the nighttime follows day I'm closing in (Before too long) Every dog will have his day Any dog can win As the nighttime follows day I'm closing in (Before too long) Every dog will have his day Any dog can win
