George Jones - A Long Time to Forget lyrics

(George Jones) It will take a long time to forget you, my dear A long, long time I'll regret you're not here A long time remembering when I had you so near It will take a long time to forget There's a lot of people out a-walkin' tonight Thinkin' about arms that held 'em so tight Memories keep a-comin' in sight Take a long, long time to forget It will take a long time to forget you, my dear A long, long time I'll regret you're not here A long time remembering when I had you so near It will take a long time to forget --- Instrumental --- I know a young fellow that lived down the street He had a good woman everything was complete He was understandin' yes, she was so sweet It took a long, long time to forget It takes a long, long time to forget you, my dear A long, long time I'll regret you're not here A long time remembering when I had you so near It will take a long time to forget --- Instrumental --- Now there's an old sayin' you're as old as you feel But time waits for no one and it never will I keep a-wantin' and lovin' you still It takes a long, long time to forget It take a long, long time to forget you, my dear A long, long time I'll regret you're not here A long time remembering when I had you so near It will take a long time to forget It will take a long time to forget It will take a long time to forget...
