It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Oh baby, let me get back, Let me get back,
Let me get back, Baby where I come from
It's been a long time, Been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes it has
It's been a long while since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just wouldn't work right
Oh open your arms, Open your arms, Open your arms
Baby let my love come running in
It's been a long time, Been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
It's been quite a while since the book of love
I can't stand the tears of a life with no love
Oh baby, Carry me back, Carry me back, Carry me back
Baby where I come from
Been a long time, Been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Sure has
Ooh-yeah, ooh-yeah
Ooh-yeah, ooh-yeah
Ooh-yeah, ooh-yeah
Ooh-yeah, ooh-yeah
Ooh-yeah, ooh-yeah
It's been a long time, Been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
