It's Been So Long Darlin'

It's been so long, darling, 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

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
