It`s Been a Longtime

<br>VERSE<br>It`s been a long time<br>Since we stood beside the water<br>The sun goin` down<br>Was burnin` peaceful and slow<br>And the shadows of evening<br>Were creepin` around us<br>It`s been a long time<br>It`s been a mighty long time<br><br>VERSE<br>It`s been a long time<br>We used to find it all together<br>The new and the strange<br>Lotsa gambles and dares<br>And the road was a high road<br>It led to the hilltops<br>It`s been a long time<br>It`s been a mighty long time<br><br>BRIDGE<br>Turnin` wheels, rollin` hard<br>Flyin` down the boulevard<br>Take it slow, let me breathe<br>I can`t relate, I can`t believe<br>Dirty snow, city lights<br>Tower clocks and lonely nights<br>Reachin` out, it`s love in vain<br>I can`t connect, I can`t explain<br><br>VERSE<br>It`s been a long time<br>We used to laugh away the hours<br>The summer was kind<br>And we were kids in the heat<br>And the moon was a high moon<br>It rose in the twilight<br>It`s been a long time<br>It`s been a mighty long time<br><br>VERSE<br>It`s been a long time<br>I look around, I`m gettin` older<br>Rememberin` fun<br>And tryna find it again<br>Lookin` in through the doorways<br>And talkin` to strangers<br>It`s been a long time<br>It`s been a mighty long<br><br>Steve Forbert<br>Welk Music (ASCAP)/<br>Rolling Tide Music (ASCAP)
