It's been so long, darlin'
Since I had to go away
It's been so long, darlin'
And I'll ne'er forget that day
Altho you never mentioned it
You cried that whole day long
It's been so long, darlin'
But now I'm comin' home
Chorus:
It's been so long, darlin'
Since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long, darlin'
Do you really realize
That the thought of seein' you
It scares me thru and thru
It's been so long, darlin'
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, darlin'
But I've kept ev'ry vow
I pray that you'll be waiting
As you did in days gone by
It's been so long, darlin'
Please don't blame me if I cry.
Chorus
