It's been so long, darling,
since I had to go away
It's been so long, darlin'
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
scares me through and through
It's been so long, darling,
since I had a kiss from you.
It's been so long, darlin',
but it won't be long now
It's been so long,
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.
