It’s Been So Long, Darling Lyrics

It’s been so long, darlin’
Since I had to go away
It’s been so long, darlin’
And I’ll never forget that day
Although you never mentioned it
You cried that whole daylong
It’s been so long, darlin’
But now I’m comin’ home

(Chorus)
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 every 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

(Repeat chorus)
