It`s been a long time 
        Now I`m coming back home 
        I`ve been away now 
        Oh how I`ve been alone 
        Wait till I come back to your side 
        We`ll forget the tears we`ve cried 
      But if your heart breaks 
        Don`t wait, turn me away 
        And if your heart`s strong 
        Hold on, I won`t delay 
        Wait till I come back to your side 
        We`ll forget the tears we`ve cried 
      I feel as though 
        You ought to know 
        That I`ve been good 
        As good as I can be 
        And if you do 
        I`ll trust in you 
        And know that you 
        Will wait for me 
      It`s been a long time 
        Now I`m coming back home 
        I`ve been away now 
        Oh how I`ve been alone 
        Wait till I come back to your side 
        We`ll forget the tears we`ve cried 
      I feel as though 
        You ought to know 
        That I`ve been good 
        As good as I can be 
        And if you do 
        I`ll trust in you 
        And know that you 
        Will wait for me 
      It`s been a long time 
        Now I`m coming back home 
        I`ve been away now 
        Oh how I`ve been alone 
        Wait till I come back to your side 
        We`ll forget the tears we`ve cried 
      It`s been a long time 
        Now I`m coming back home 
        I`ve been away now 
        Oh, how I`ve been alone
