It's been a long time since I've seen you, baby
Then your call came across my telephone
Said old friends are meeting
Will you come up maybe

I said I'll try to make it
You left me talking to a tone

Ten years didn't seem so long
Has it been that long, baby
Has it been that long since I've gone away

Many days and nights have passed since
I've seen you, mama
So many things have passed our eyes
A ring has come and gone from my finger, baby
I've stumbled, fallen down and yes I've even cried

(Chorus)

It's been ten years since
I've seen you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since
I've whispered in your ear
Let's celebrate now that we're home

(Whisper)
It's been a long time since I've seen you, yeah!
You're a memory from the past
That'll always last
But life goes on, but it's been so long... etc

I think about the past, it's gone away so fast
I'm still the same human being
I've traveled many miles and all just the while
I've learned about the things I've seen
It's been ten years since I've seen you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whispered sweet in your ear

Let's celebrate now that we're home

It's been ten years since I've seen you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whispered in your ear
Maybe I'll call ya or just see ya soon
