Love’s Been Gone So Long

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Love's been gone so long Oh, when will it come? Oh Lord, I know it'll win But the waiting seems so long [Pre-Chorus] Opportunity knocks Oh, but sometimes it comes And I'm afraid inside I want a sweet lady Right when I'm feeling blue And when I'm alone [Chorus] (Love's been gone so long) (Hey) This time around, baby, yeah Ah, love (Love's been gone so long) It's been gone so long, sweet child Oh [Verse 2] There's a memory in the wind You'll feel sadness deep within, uh Love you never knew Would ever turn on you [Pre-Chorus] Opportunity knocks Oh, but sometimes it comes And I'm afraid inside I want a sweet lady Right when I'm feeling blue And when I'm alone [Chorus] (Love's been gone so long) (Hey) This time around, baby, yeah Ah, love (Love's been gone so long) It's been gone so long, child [Verse 3] When you're drifting day by day Love might happened, a single way You might have to pay some dues Oh, but sometimes you got to lose [Pre-Chorus] Opportunity knocks Oh, but sometimes it comes And I'm afraid inside I want a sweet lady Right when I'm feeling blue And when I'm alone [Chorus] (Love's been gone so long) (Hey) This time around, baby, yeah Ah, love (Love's been gone so long) It's been gone so long, sweet child And I wanna tell you that I miss you, baby [Outro] (Love's been gone so long) Ah, love (Gone so long) Miss you, sweet child I wish you'd come on back home, baby (Love's been gone so long) Oh, girl 'Cause I need you (Gone so long) I want you
