It's Been A Long Time Sweetheart
(Larry W. Jones 06/02/2007) (song#4699)

It's been a long time, sweetheart
Since I said so long and went away
It's been a long time, sweetheart
Dear, I've counted every single day
I read your letters, every single word
Of how you cried while I've been gone
Let me say, sweetheart, I just heard
A few more days and I'll be home

It's been a long time, sweetheart
Since I held you in my arms
It's been a long time, sweetheart
Since I fell for your charms
Dear, I can't help but visualize
When all my dreams come true
It's been a long time, sweetheart
Soon I'll be steaming home to you

It's been a long time, sweetheart
But that doesn't matter now
It's been a long time, sweetheart
But my heart is as true as love allows
I told the captain to stow the chart
When I return I'll ne're more roam
It's been a long time, sweetheart
A few more days and I'll be home

It's been a long time, sweetheart
Since I held you in my arms
It's been a long time, sweetheart
Since I fell for your charms
Dear, I can't help but visualize
When all my dreams come true
It's been a long time, sweetheart
Soon I'll be steaming home to you
