Your Love's Been a Long Time Coming
Tammy Wynette · Bedtime Story [Epic] [1972]
Darling, let me spend a moment with you
I want both of us to share what's on my mind
There's been a change in you and I'm so happy
For I haven't been this happy all the time.
There's been something in your past and now it's dying
It kept you from loving me all this time
I can tell that she don't worry you any longer
And after all these years you're really mine.
'Cause your love's been a long time coming
All the hurt just turned to loving
And I'll take it before it's not too late.
It took a long time to work it out
Now it's here and there's no doubt
Your love's been a long time coming
But it's here to stay.
It took a long time to work it out
Now it's here and there's no doubt
Your love's been a long time coming
But it's here to stay...
