It's been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back, baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes, it has
It's been a long time since the book of love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back, carry me back, carry me back, baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
It seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Open your arms, open your arms, open your arms, baby, let my love come running in
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
