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
