It's Been So Long, Darlin' - Ernest Tubb

Itâ  s Been So Long, Darlinâ Â

Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â

Since I had to go away

Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â

And Iâ  ll neâ  er forget that day

Although you never mentioned it

You cried that whole daylong

Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â

But now Iâ  m cominâ  home

Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â

Since I gazed into your eyes

Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â

Do you really realize

That the thought of seeinâ  you

It scares me through and through

Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â

Since I had a kiss from you

Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â

But it wonâ  t be long now

Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â

But Iâ  ve kept every vow

I pray that youâ  ll be waiting

As you did in days gone by

Itâ  s been so long, darlinâ Â

Please donâ  t blame me if I cry

(Repeat chorus)
