| Itâ  s Been So Long, Darlinâ Â
|
| Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â
|
| Since I had to go away
|
| Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â
|
| And Iâ  ll neâ  er forget that day
|
| Although you never mentioned it
|
| You cried that whole daylong
|
| Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â
|
| But now Iâ  m cominâ  home
|
| Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â
|
| Since I gazed into your eyes
|
| Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â
|
| Do you really realize
|
| That the thought of seeinâ  you
|
| It scares me through and through
|
| Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â
|
| Since I had a kiss from you
|
| Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â
|
| But it wonâ  t be long now
|
| Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â
|
| But Iâ  ve kept every vow
|
| I pray that youâ  ll be waiting
|
| As you did in days gone by
|
| Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â
|
| Please donâ  t blame me if I cry
|
| (Repeat chorus) |
