So kiss me, darlin'
It's been a long time
So kiss me, darlin'
It's been a long time

It's been a long time since
I saw you in the village playin' mandolin
Somethin' in your singin' made my burdens lift
Hangin' onto every word to cross your lips

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

So kiss me, darlin'
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darlin'
It's been a long time
So kiss me, darlin'
So kiss me, darlin'

I keep your picture close
I like to have it with me when I'm far from home
Missin' 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
Countin' every stop along the railroad tracks

So kiss me, darlin'
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darlin'
It's been a long, long time

In a thousand nights I've never dreamt
a second to a better sight
In stumblin' on your singin' in a lone street light
Takin' 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?

So kiss me, darlin' (kiss me)
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darlin' (kiss me)
It's been a long time

So kiss me, darlin' (kiss me)
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darlin' (kiss me)
It's been a long, long time

Kiss me, darlin' (kiss me)
It's been a long time
Kiss me, darlin' (kiss me)
It's been a long, long time

Kiss me, darlin'
So kiss me, darlin'
