[Chorus] So kiss me, darling
It's been a long time
So kiss me, darling
It's been a long time

[Verse 1] It's been a long time since
I saw you in the village playing mandolin
Something in your singing made my burdens lift
Hanging onto every word to cross your lips

Feels like a long way gone
But I can still remember how you sang that song
Smiling like nobody'd ever done you wrong
Strumming like you knew you had me all along

[Chorus] So kiss me, darling
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darling
It's been a long time
So kiss me, darling
So kiss me, darling

[Verse 2] I keep your picture close
I like to have it with me when I'm far from home
Missing you's the hardest thing I've ever known
I hate to think about you being all alone

So I'll take the last train back
I'll wake you when I get there cause I miss you bad
I need to feel you more than I ever have
Counting every stop along the railroad tracks

[Chorus] So kiss me, darling
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darling
It's been a long, long time

[Verse 3] In a thousand nights I've never dreamt a second to a better sight
In stumbling on your singing in a lone street light
Taking my worries away

Searched through a thousand lines
I've never found a way to make it sound just right
There'll never be a minute when I'm not surprised
I don't bet you still feel the same?

[Chorus] So kiss me, darling,( kiss me)
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darling, (kiss me)
It's been a long time

[Chorus] So kiss me, darling, (kiss me)
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darling, (kiss me)
It's been a long, long time

[Chorus] Kiss me, darling, kiss me)
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darling, (kiss me)
It's been a long, long time
Kiss me, darling
So kiss me, darling
