It's been a long time   Now I'm comin' back home   I've been away now, oh heart    I've been alone      Wait 'til I come back to your side   We'll forget the tears we cried   But if your heart breaks, don't wait   Turn me away   And if your heart's strong, hold on   I won't delay      Wait 'til I come back to your side   And we'll forget the tears we cried   I feel as though you oughta know   That I think good as good as I can be   And if you do, I'll trust in you   And know that you, you'll wait for me      It's been a long time   Now I'm comin' back home   I've been away now, oh heart   I've been alone      Wait 'til I come back to your side   And we'll forget the tears we cried   I feel as though you oughta know   That I think good as good as can be   And if you do, I'll trust in you   I know that you, you'll wait for me   But if your heart breaks, don't wait   Turn me away   And if your heart's strong, hold on   I won't delay      Wait 'til I come back to your side   And we'll forget the tears we cried      It's been a long time   Now I'm comin' back home   I've been away now, oh heart   I've been alone
