It's been so long darling since I had to go away
It's been so long darling and I can't forget that day
Although you never mentioned it you cried that whole day long
It's been so long darling but now I'm coming home
It's been so long darling since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long darling do you really realize
Just the thought of seeing you it scares me through and through
It's been so long darling since I had a kiss from you
[ steel ]
It's been so long darling but it won't be long now
It's been so long darling but I've kept every vow
I pray that you'll be waiting as you did in days gone by
It's been so long darling please don't blame me if I cry
It's been so long darling
