(It's been so long darling) it's been such a long time since I gazed into your eyes

(It's been so long darling) I just wonder if you really realize

That now now just the very thought of seein' you again

Scares me scares me through and through

(It's been so long darling) since I had a kiss from you



(It's been so long darling) it's been such a long time since I had to go away

And if I lived to be a hundred years old I never will forget that day

Although I never mentioned it I cried that whole day long

I feel like I've been gone forever but now I'm coming home

Oh it's been such a long time darling but it won't be long now

And I want you to know that while I've been gone I've kept every single vow

I just hope you're still gonna love me

As much as you did when you told me goodbye

It's been such a long time darling please don't blame me if I cry

(It's been so long darling)...
