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 arsenic

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.
