It will take a long time to forget you my dear
A long long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget
There's a lot of people out a walkin' tonight
Thinkin' about arms that held 'em so tight
Memories keep a comin' in sight
Take a long long time to forget
It will take a long time to forget you my dear
A long long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget
I know a young fellow that lived down the street
He had a good woman everything was complete
She was understandin' yes she was so sweet
It took a long long time to forget
It takes a long long time to forget you my dear
Now there's an old sayin' you're as old as you feel
But time waits for no one and it never will
I keep a wantin' and lovin' you still
It takes a long long time to forget
