| It will take a long time to forget you, my dear
|
| A long, long time I’ll regret you’re not here
|
| A long time remembering when I had you so near
|
| It will take a long time to forget
|
| There’s a lot of people out a-walkin' tonight
|
| Thinkin' about arms that held 'em so tight
|
| Memories keep a-comin' in sight
|
| Take a long, long time to forget
|
| It will take a long time to forget you, my dear
|
| A long, long time I’ll regret you’re not here
|
| A long time remembering when I had you so near
|
| It will take a long time to forget

| I know a young fellow that lived down the street
|
| He had a good woman everything was complete

|
| It takes a long, long time to forget you, my dear
|
| A long, long time I’ll regret you’re not here
|
| A long time remembering when I had you so near
|
| It will take a long time to forget

| Now there’s an old sayin' you’re as old as you feel
|
| But time waits for no one and it never will
|

|
| It takes a long, long time to forget
|
| It take a long, long time to forget you, my dear
|

|
| A long time remembering when I had you so near
|
| It will take a long time to forget
