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, but it won't be long now It's been so, so long, darling, and I've kept every vow Oh, I hope that you'll be waiting as you did in days gone by It's been so, so long, darling, please don't blame me if I cry It's been so long, so long, darling, since I gazed into your eyes It's been so long, so long, darling, do you really realize That just the thought of seeing you, oh, it scares me through and through It's been so long, so long, darling, since I had a kiss from you It's been so, it's been so long, darling
