How Long Has It Been
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN

VERSE
Oh, how I miss them, my family they live
Back home in Virginia along the Blue Ridge
And oh what I’d give to see them again
How Long Has It Been, How Long Has It Been
VERSE
Oh, how I miss the cool summer night
Adrift on the porch swing in the pale moon light
Oh, what I’d give to be there again
How Long Has It Been, How Long Has It Been
CHORUS
I’m a lonely man for away I stand
Dreaming of the day I return
Because I know one day, I’ll be home to stay
Wearing medals only heroes can earn
Oh, how I miss her my lady back home
Sweeter than anything I’ve ever known
And oh what I’d give to hold her again
How Long Has It Been, How Long Has It Been
CHORUS (Repeat)
