lyrics

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME

It’s been a long time since I’m walking by your window
It’s been a long time since I’m knocking on your door
Many days and sleepless nights have passed
The memories fade both too slow and fast
Since I found out you don’t want me anymore

It’s been a long time since I held you close in my arms
It’s been a long time since you told me that you cared
And I confess that not a day goes by
When I awake alone and wonder why
And I reach out to touch you but there’s no one there

Never knew love before, never met no one like you
And I’m always gonna wonder what might have been
World spinning circles now, but there’s one thing I know
It’s gonna be a long, long time till I love that way again

It’s been a long time since you whispered soft in my ear
It’s been a long time since I gazed into your eyes
And I remember how it used to be
I told you I loved you, you said you loved me
But then the next day found us saying our goodbyes

Never knew love before, never met no one like you
And I’m always gonna wonder what might have been
World spinning circles now, but there’s one thing I know
It’s gonna be a long, long time
It’s gonna be a long, long time
It’s gonna be a long, long time till I love that way again
Till I love that way again
Till I love that way again
