Lyrics The Statler Brothers

The Statler Brothers

Quite A Long Long Time

Perhaps the semi darkness of this room has me confused

You say that you're an old, old friend of mine

And if I'm wrong about you then I beg to be excused

It's just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time

Or could it be the bottle that you're holding in your hand

The girl I knew could never be that kind

Please be patient with me, I will place you if I can

It's just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time

The dimple in your cheek is familiar I'll admit

And the smile does resemble one I've known

And the color of your hair does remind me quite a bit

Of someone within the shade of blonde is not just like her own

Now I must go, it's getting late and I do wish you well

And please go kind of easy on the wine

It's possible I know you but it's really hard to tell

It's just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time
