Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Been so long (Been so long)
Since held you tight (Held you tight)
Been so long (Been so long)
Since I kissed you goodnight
The blues are mine
[Verse 2]
Been so long (Been so long)
My hours seem like years (Seem like years)
Been so long (Been so long)
I shed precious tears
The blues are mine
[Verse 3]
I never, ever thought I'd fall in love like this
I need your arms and warmth of your sweet kiss, oh
[Verse 4]
Been so long (Been so long)
I need you, oh, so bad (Oh, so bad)
Been so long (Been so long)
My heart is sad
The blues are mine
[Verse 5]
Been so long
Written by: A. Thomas, Fosco Ervin, Jamall Willingham, R. Travis
