It's been so long, since you've been gone
I hardly know where to begin this song
Wherever you are, I hope it's not too far
For you to hear me, it's been so hard
Lay next to me, cry please don't run
But I wouldn't fight or carry a gun
I went far away, to start a new life,
If I had stayed there, you'd be my wife
And I know I'd recognize your face
Your memory keeps haunting me
And I can't forget what time won't erase
You know it's hard for me to come back now
There's prison to face though the fighting is done
Where can I find you, Daddy you have a son
That's never seen you, he looks just like you
"No one here by that name." Are you still in Quebec?
Oh, it's so hard to keep warm through northern winter
It's been so long
And I know I'd recognize your face, the seasons come
I can't let go and I'd know your sweet smile any place
And I know I'd recognize your face (any time you know now)
Anyplace, anytime, you know I'm still in love with you
And I know I'd recognize your face
