It's been a long time since you broke my heart my friend.
It took a long time for it to heal again.

It's been a long time since you left me down-and-out my friend.
It took me a long time to get up again.

It's been a long time since I waited at your doorstep my friend.
It took me a long time to turn around and walk away again.

It's been a long time since you were the storm in my life my friend.
It took a long time for the sun to come out again.

It's been a long time since you were the answer to my longing my friend.
It took a long time for the loss to go away again.

It all happened for so long ago my friend.
It seems like a lifetime has passed since then.

But once in a while when the feeling is right my dear friend.
I like to think about you all over again.
