It's Been A Long Time Coming

Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones

For as long as I can't remember

It's been struggled and worried everyday

It's been a long time coming

I say, it's been such a long time coming

But good things are gonna come my way

I work so hard and I put it on my house

Just to make myself a few dollars everyday

It's been such a long time coming

Baby, it's been such a long time coming

But good things are gonna come my way

Never met a girl who loved me

I spend so many lonely nights

But then one day, girl

You came along

And every little thing is gonna be alright

I try so hard to make you feel so happy

I'm gonna do any little thing to make you stay

Baby, it's been such a long time coming

I never thought it would come

But it's been such a long time coming

But good things are gonna come my way
