You've been gone away so long
Now, at last, you're coming home, girl
I'm sitting here, passing time
Trying to turn my thoughts in rhyme

It's just my way of telling you
How much I've been missing you, baby
What a wonderful thing we have
Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
What a wonderful thing we have

All this time you've been away
So many things I've wanted to say
I can't wait to get you alone
No folks and no telephone

There I will be telling you
How much I've been missing you, baby
What a wonderful thing we have
Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
What a wonderful thing we have

You've been gone away so long
Now, at last, you're coming home, girl
I'm sitting here, passing time
Trying to turn my thoughts in rhyme

It's just my way of telling you
How much I've been missing you, baby
What a wonderful thing we have
Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
What a wonderful thing we have

Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
What a wonderful thing we have
Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
What a wonderful thing we have
