I SIT ALONE HERE WAITIN', WAITIN' FOR THE LINE 2 RING,
REHEARSING EVERY WORD I'LL SAY 2 U,
IT'S BEEN A COLD EMPTY DAY JUST LIKE THE ONE U WENT AWAY,
& I'M LONGIN' 4 WHAT 2MORROW HAS IN VIEW,
I'M REACHIN' OUT 2 HOLD U BUT YOU'RE NOWHERE IN SIGHT,
IT'S BEEN OH SO LONG SINCE YOU'VE GONE,
MY FAITH RELIES ON MEMORIES WHEN THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE,
IT'S BEEN OH SO LONG SINCE YOU'VE GONE U SAY IT'S NOT 4EVER,

BUT THAT'S PRECISELY HOW IT FEELS,
AS I COUNT THE DAYS LIKE A CHILD IN DECEMBER,
THEY SAY WITH JOY THERE'S ALWAYS SADNESS LET'S NOT 4 GET THE PAIN,
BUT WHEN WE MEET AGAIN, WE'LL MAKE IT LIKE R 1ST SEPTEMBER

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN MAKE IT ALONE,
IT'S BEEN OH SO LONG SINCE YOU'VE GONE
IT TOOK A LIFETIME 2 FIND U NOW I'M LEFT ON MY OWN,
IT'S BEEN OH SO LONG SINCE YOU'VE GONE

I'D GIVE UP ALL MY TREASURES, I'D WALK AN ENDLESS MILE,
2 BRING 4TH R PRECIOUS RENDEZVOUS
WHERE LOVE'LL NEVER DIE

I PRAY THAT U BELIEVE ME,
I PRAY U UNDERSTAND, I'VE GOT A LIFETIME OF LOVE IN MY HAND,
I'M REACHIN' OUT 2 HOLD U BUT YOU'RE NOWHERE IN SIGHT,

IT'S BEEN OH SO LONG SINCE YOU'VE GONE,
MY FAITH RELIES ON MEMORIES WHEN THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE,
IT'S BEEN OH SO LONG SINCE YOU'VE GONE
IT TOOK A LIFETIME 2 FIND U
NOW I'M LEFT ON MY OWN, ITS BEEN OH SO LONG.....
