It's Been So Long Darling

(Ernest Tubb)



It's been so long, darling

Since I had to go away

It's been so long, darling

And I'll never forget that day.



Although I never mentioned it

I cried the whole day long

It's been so long, darling

But now you're comin' home.



It's been so long, darling

But it won't be long now

It's been so long, darling

And I've kept every vow.



He'll sign me right here waitin'

As you did in days gone by

It's been so long, darling

Please don't blame me if I cry.

It's been so long, darling

Since I gazed into your eyes

It's been so long, darling

Do you really realize?



That's just the thought of seeing you

It scares me through and through

It's been so long, darling

Since I had a kiss from you.



It's been so long, darling

But now you're comin' home...
