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 Although you never mentioned it You cried that whole day long It's been so long, darlin' But now I'm comin' home 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 through and through 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. 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 through and through It's been so long, darlin' Since I had a kiss from you.
