(Ernest Tubb)

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 scares me through and through
It's been so long darling
Since I had a kiss from you.

It's been so long darling
Since I had to go away
It's been so long darling
And I can't 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.
