It's been a long time since I've seen you, baby 

Then you call came across my telephone

Said old friends are meeting

Will you come up maybe 

I said I'll try to make it

You left me talking to a tone 



Ten years didn't seem so long

Has it been that long, baby

Has it been that long since I've gone away 



Many days and nights have passed since

I've seen you, mama

So many things have passed our eyes

A ring has come and gone from my finger, baby

I've stumbled, fallen down and yes I've even cried



It's been ten years since I've seen you, baby

Since I've promised you the moon

It's been that long since

I've whispered in your ear

Let's celebrate now that we're home 



It's been a long time

Since I've seen you, yeah!

You're a memory from the past

That'll always last

But life goes on, but it's been so long... 



I think about the past, 

It's gone away so fast

I'm still the same human being

I've traveled many miles 

And all just the while

I've learned about the things I've seen



It's been ten years since I've seen you, baby

Since I've promised you the moon

It's been that long since 

I've whispered sweet in your ear 

Let's celebrate now that we're home 



It's been ten years since I've seen you, baby

Since I've promised you the moon

It's been that long since 

I've whispered in your ear

Maybe I'll call ya or just see ya soon
