Has it only been a day Since you begun to pack your things? Has it only been a week Since you told me 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 that you'll be faithful Or at least I hope you'll try 'Cause I don't know how long I can be alone The song goes on and on when you're not home It's been the longest year Since you left me here This month goes on and on Since you told me you were wrong And these weeks've been 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 No I don't mind if time goes fast or slow I'll take all the clocks off the walls when we get home.
