It's been a long time Now I'm coming back home I've been away now Oh how I've been alone Wait till I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried But if your heart breaks Don't wait, turn me away And if your heart's strong Hold on, I won't delay Wait till I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried I feel as though you ought to know That I've been good as good as I can be And if you do, I'll trust in you And know that you will wait for me It's been a long time Now I'm coming back home I've been away now Oh how I've been alone Wait till I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried I feel as though you ought to know That I've been good as good as I can be And if you do, I'll trust in you And know that you will wait for me It's been a long time Now I'm coming back home I've been away now Oh how I've been alone Wait till I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried It's been a long time Now I'm coming back home I've been away now Oh, how I've been alone
