Has it only been a day
Since you began to pack your things
Has it only been a week
Since you told me you had to leave
And has it only been a month
Since I asked you what was wrong
Has it only been a year
Since I first held you my dear
So little time to say I love you
So little time to say goodbye
And I hope you will be faithful
Or at least I hope you'll try
'Cause I don't know how long I can be alone
This song goes on and on when you're not home
It's been the longest year
Since you left me here
This month's goin' on and on
Since you told me you were wrong
And these week's been oh so slow
Since you said that you'd come home
Now I only have a day to wait
To kiss when you step off the plane
Now I don't mind if time goes fast or slow
We'll take all the clocks off the walls when we get home
