It's been a long time since I've seen
you, baby

Then you call came across my
telephone
Said old friends are meeting
Will you come up maybe

I said I'll try to make it
You left me talking to a tone

Ten years didn't seem so long
Has it been that long, baby
Has it been that long since I've
gone away

Many days and nights have
passed since
I've seen you, mama
So many things have passed
our eyes
A ring has come and gone
from my finger, baby
I've stumbled, fallen down
and yes I've even cried
Chorus

It's been ten years since
I've seen you, baby
Since I've promised
you the moon
It's been that long since
I've whispered in your ear
Let's celebrate now that
we're home

(Whisper) It's been a long time
since I've seen you, yeah!
You're a memory from the past
That'll always last
But life goes on, but it's been
so long...etc.

I think about the past, it's gone
away so fast
I'm still the same human being
I've traveled many miles and all
just the while
I've learned about the things I've
seen
It's been ten years since I've seen
you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whis-
pered sweet in your ear

Let's celebrate now that we're
home

It's been ten years since I've seen
you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whis-
pered in your ear
Maybe I'll call ya or just see ya
soon
