It's been so long since we said goodbye I guess that's the reason why I sit and cry I miss you baby every day and night It's been so long since I held you tight Everything's different since you went away It gets so lonely every night and day I can't help feeling that you ought to know I love you baby and I miss you so Nothing ever seems the same my sunshine has turned to rain Every time I hear your name my heart becomes a burning flame It's been so long since we said goodbye... ( fiddle - steel ) It's been so long since we said goodbye... Everything's different since you went away... It's been so long since we said goodbye...
