It's been so long, darling, since I had to go away It's been so long, darling and I'll never forget that day Although you never mentioned it, you cried the 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 That 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 It's been so long, darling, but it won't be long now It's been so long, darling and 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
