It's been too long, love
Since I saw your face
Or held you in my arms
And spoke, "Farewell."

It's been too long, dear
Since you swore
That our love was real
And stayed so close

It's been too long, darling
Since you kissed me long
And peppered my face
With the gentle touch of love

But it's never been too long,
That I've waited for your return
Under the countless stars
And many sleepless nights.
