It's Been So Long (Original Song 1986)

It's Been So Long [Intro] [Verse 1] Well he's trying real hard to find out what he wants Is it love or the fast lane, he doesn't know for sure Now he's found a woman, she's really something else [Verse 2] Now it's been eight years since this boy became a man Now he's got a family, oh how he's grown But every once in a long while you'll see him on the town [Chorus] But it's out of the nightlife and into love He's never known so clearly a gift from above It's been so long (it's been so long) Oh, it's been so long [Bridge] (Key Change) [Guitar and Piano Solo] [Verse 3] Now his hair's a bit grayer and he walks with a wooden cane [percussion: woodblock one-shot] He'll never forget the time when he was young Now he just smiles with nothing to regret [Chorus] (Key Change) Now it's out of the nightlife and into love He's never known so clearly a gift from above It's been so long (it's been so long) Oh, it's been so long [Outro] It's been so long Oh, it's been so long It's been so long It's been so long It's been so long It's been so long Song By: Dean Mathis and Brian Pelky Produced at LEO Sound Works Shelby, NC 1985©®
