Have I stayed away too long   Have I stayed away too long   If I came home tonight would you still be my darling   Or have I stayed away too long?      The love light that shone so strong   Pretty love light that shone so strong   If I came home tonight, would that same light be burnin'   Or have I stayed away too long?      I'm just outside of town, I'll soon be at your door   Or maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there   I'd best keep out of town and worry you no more   For maybe someone else has made you care      Have all my dreams gone wrong   All my beautiful dreams gone wrong   If I came home tonight, would you still be my darling   Or have I stayed away too long?
