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 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 sign 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
[ steel ]
It's been so long darling since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long darling do you really realize
That's 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
