It's been so long, darling, since you had to go away
It's been so long, darling, and I'll never forget that day
Although I never mentioned it, I cried the whole day long
It's been so long, darling, but now you're comin' home

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
He'll find me right here waitin', 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, since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long, darling, do you really realize
That just the thought of seeing you, it 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 now you're comin' home
