Lyrics:

IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME
Writers Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne

Kiss me once, then kiss me twice Then kiss me once again. It's been a long, long time. Haven't felt like this, my dear Since I can't remember when. It's been a long, long time You'll never know how many dreams I've dreamed about you. Or just how empty they all seemed without you. So kiss me once, then kiss me twice Then kiss me once again. It's been a long, long time. Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice Then kiss me once again. It's been a long time. Haven't felt like this my dear Since I can't remember when It's been a long, long time. ****** As recorded by Louis Armstrong: Kiss me once, and kiss me twice Then kiss me once again It's been a long, long time Haven't felt like this, my dear Since I can't remember when It's been a long, long time You'll never know how many dreams I've dreamed about you Or just how empty they all seemed without you So kiss me once, then kiss me twice Then kiss me once again It's been a long, long time (Instrumental Break) Oh, kiss me once, and kiss me twice Then kiss me once again It's been a long, such a long time I haven't felt like this my dear Since I don't remember when It's been a long, been a mighty long time You'll never know how many dreams I've dreamed about you Or how empty they all seem without you So kiss me once, and kiss me twice And kiss me once again It's been a long, long time It's been a mighty, mighty long time
