Been So Long It’s been so long since we waved And now there’s been no one to wipe the tears away I’m still waiting to see you, will you look the same? I wonder if you’ll like the way I’ve changed I’m much stronger, though experience hasn’t hardened me And I’ve met many good friends And more who’ve not pardoned me I’ve gone from seeking approval to seeking applause But you being here with me would have softened the falls So long, so long So long, so long It’s been so long Since we waved “so long” If you miss someone from so long ago Raise your glass with me as I say a toast To sweet memories, sweet dreams, and sweet returns As time makes the past seem more dear I reminisce wishing you could be here And I hear your song on the radio I remember how it made you smile so long ago So long So long So long, so long It’s been so long Since we waved “so long” If you miss someone from so long ago Raise your glass with me as I say a toast © 1994 Elinore Speeks
