Merle Haggard - It's Been So Long, Darlin' lyrics

It's been so long darling since I've had to go away It's been so long darling and I ne'er forget that day Although you never mentioned it you cried that 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 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 It's been so long darling, please don't blame me if I cry
