Long Time

(album: Flirtin' With Disaster - 1979)

All alone with a full moon to light my night.
Been six long months since I held you tight.
It's been a long time.
Baby, you are my only love,
Sent to me, from Heaven above.
Oh, honey, times are bad.
Got so bad, one lonely night,
I needed you to hold me tight.
Honey, don't be so sad.

I've got you on my mind,
You know I've done you wrong.
Oh, baby, listen to my song.

We made a deal,
I remember the pact,
Now you're gone and I need you back.
Honey, don't be so mad.
There's no other,
there never could be,
You're my woman, my family.
Honey, baby, take me back.

I've got you on my mind,
You know I've done you wrong.
Oh, baby, listen to my song.

[Chorus:]
A feeling inside
I couldn't hide,
Now I wish I lied.
Oh, baby, won't you come back home?

Lonely days and damn the nights,
Has it been too long to make things right?
Been a long time,
Lord a long time.
I've got you on my mind,
You know I've done you wrong.
Oh, this pain in my soul.

[Chorus:]
The feeling inside,
I couldn't hide,
Now I wish I lied.
Oh, baby, won't you come back home?
Yeah, a long time.
