It's Been So Long Darlin'

(Ernest Tubb)



(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)

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...
