It's been a long time,
Since I've seen your smiling face.
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen a sunny day.

It's been a long time,
Since you wore your pillbox hat.
It's been a long time,
Since we drove your Pontiac.

It's been a long time,
Since you gave me butterflies
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen it burning in your eyes.

But I don't mind (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
When I've got you next to me.

It's been a long time,
Since we tripped into this ditch.
It's been a long time,
Since we drank the [bad word] 
It's been a long time,
Since we've been inside of this tomb.
It's been a long time,
Since you wore your expensive French perfume.

But I don't mind (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
But I don't (I don't mind),
When I've got you next to me.
Next to me

It's been a long time,
Since I've seen your smiling face.
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen a sunny day.
