It's been so long, darling,
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 day long.
It's been so long, darlin',
but now I'm comin' home.
What do you got to say, Conway?
It's been so long, darling,
since he gazed into your eyes.
It's been so long, darling,
but I still realize
The thought of him seein' you,
it scares me through and through.
It's been so long, darling,
tell me am I losin' you?
And he'll keep waitin' now.
It's been so long, darlin',
but it won't be long now
Come on, Ernie,
she's heard all that before
It's been so long, darlin',
but I've kept every vow
He's just sweet -talkin' you,
baby, he never loved you
I pray that you'll be waiting
as you did in days gone by
It's been so long, darling,
please don't blame me if I cry
It's been a long time,
since he gazed into your eye
It's been a long time, darling,
but I still realize
The thought of him seeing you,
it scares me through and through
It's been a long time, darling
Tell me, am I losing you?
You never had her, Conway
