ItâÂÂs Been So Long, Darlinâ ItâÂÂs been so long, darlinâ Since I had to go away ItâÂÂs been so long, darlinâ And IâÂÂll neâÂÂer forget that day Although you never mentioned it You cried that whole daylong ItâÂÂs been so long, darlinâ But now IâÂÂm cominâ home (Chorus) ItâÂÂs been so long, darlinâ Since I gazed into your eyes ItâÂÂs been so long, darlinâ Do you really realize That the thought of seeinâ you It scares me through and through ItâÂÂs been so long, darlinâ Since I had a kiss from you ItâÂÂs been so long, darlinâ But it wonâÂÂt be long now ItâÂÂs been so long, darlinâ But IâÂÂve kept every vow I pray that youâÂÂll be waiting As you did in days gone by ItâÂÂs been so long, darlinâ Please donâÂÂt blame me if I cry (Repeat chorus)
