Texty: Bill Anderson. It's Been So Long Darling.

(It's been so long darling) it's been such a long time since I gazed into your eyes
(It's been so long darling) I just wonder if you really realize
That now now just the very thought of seein' you again
Scares me scares me through and through
(It's been so long darling) since I had a kiss from you

(It's been so long darling) it's been such a long time since I had to go away
And if I lived to be a hundred years old I never will forget that day
Although I never mentioned it I cried that whole day long
I feel like I've been gone forever but now I'm coming home
Oh it's been such a long time darling but it won't be long now
And I want you to know that while I've been gone I've kept every single vow

I just hope you're still gonna love me
As much as you did when you told me goodbye
It's been such a long time darling please don't blame me if I cry
(It's been so long darling)...
