Lyrics:

It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Sure has been a long, long time
It's been a long while now
It's been a long while
Sure has been a long, long while

I sent you flowers back in 1997
But I did not send a card
I was trying to make you fall in love with me
I guess I didn't try too hard

It's been a long time now
It's been a long time
Sure has been a long, long time

Remember how the sun came up
So early in the morning
When we out in Old Smith's Peak
We could go down there just like we used to
We could play some jigs and reels

It's been a long time now
It's been a long time
Sure has been a long, long time
Sure has been a long, long time
