It’s Been A Long Long Time Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
Never thought that you would be
Standing here so close to me
There's so much I feel that I should say
But words can wait until some other day
[Verse 1]
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
[Verse 2]
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since can't remember when
It's been a long, long time
[Bridge]
You'll never know how many dreams I dream about you
Or just how empty they all seem without you
[Verse 1]
So, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
[Intro]
Never thought that you would be
Standing here so close to me
There's so much I feel that I should say
But words can wait until some other day
[Verse 1]
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
[Verse 2]
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since can't remember when
It's been a long, long time
[Bridge]
You'll never know how many dreams I dream about you
Or just how empty they all seem without you
[Verse 1]
So, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
[Saxophone Solo]
