It's been so long,
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
I'm coming home,
it's been so long, darlin',
ah, but it won't be long now
It's been so, so long, darlin',
and I've kept every vow
Oh, I hope that you'll be waiting
As you did in days gone by
It's been so, so long, darling
Please don't blame me if I cry
Oh, it's been so long,
so long, darling,
since I gazed into your eyes.
It's been so long, so long, darling,
till you really realized
That just the thought of seeing you
Oh, it gets me through and through
It's been so long, so long, darling
Since I had a kiss from you
It's been so, it's been so long, darlin'!
