It's been a long time
 
 Now I'm coming back home
 
 I've been away now
 
 Oh how, I've been alone
 
 
 Wait till I come back to your side
 
 We'll forget the tears we've 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 till I come back to your side
 
 We'll forget the tears we've cried
 
 
 I feel as though
 
 You ought to know
 
 That I've been good
 
 As good as I can be
 
 And if you do
 
 I'll trust in you
 
 And know that you
 
 Will wait for me
 
 
 It's been a long time
 
 Now I'm coming back home
 
 I've been away now
 
 Oh how, I've been alone
 
 
 Wait till I come back to your side
 
 We'll forget the tears we've cried
 
 
 I feel as though
 
 You ought to know
 
 That I've been good
 
 As good as I can be
 
 And if you do
 
 I'll trust in you
 
 And know that you
 
 Will 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 till I come back to your side
 
 We'll forget the tears we've cried
 
 
 It's been a long time
 
 Now I'm coming back home
 
 I've been away now
 
 Oh how, I've been alone
