It's Been So Long Darling

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.
