Long Time To Forget

(album: Starday Presents - 1965)

It will take a long time to forget you, my dear
A long, long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget
There's a lot of people out a-walking tonight
Thinking about arms that held 'em so tight
Memories keep a-coming in sight
Take a long, long time to forget
It will take a long time to forget you, my dear
A long, long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget

I know a young fellow that lived down the street
He had a good woman everything was complete
He was understanding yes, she was so sweet
It took a long, long time to forget
It takes a long, long time to forget you, my dear
A long, long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget

Now there's an old saying you're as old as you feel
But time waits for no one and it never will
I keep a-wanting and loving you still
It takes a long, long time to forget
It take a long, long time to forget you, my dear
A long, long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget
It will take a long time to forget
It will take a long time to forget...
