[Lyric] Its Been So Long Darlin (Carl Smith)

It's been so long, darling
Since I had to go away
It's been so long, darling
But I'll never forget that day

Although you never mentioned it
You cried that whole day long
It's been so long, darling
But now I'm coming home

It's been so long, darling
Since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long, darling
Do you really realize

That just the thought of seeing you
It thrills me through and through
It's been so long, darling
That I had a kiss from you

It's been so long, darling
But it won't be long now
It's been so long, darling
But I've kept every vow
I pray that you'll be waiting
As you did in days gone by
It's been so long, darling
Please don't blame me if I cry

It's been so long, darling
Since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long, darling
Do you really realize

That just the thought of seeing you
It thrills me through and through
It's been so long, darling
Since I had a kiss from you
