How Long Has It Been — текст песни (Jim Ed Brown)

Saw you there on the barstool as I walked in
And the look we gave each other said we both need a friend
Is this the first time you`ve come here in all the nights you`ve been alone
Searching for something that just isn`t at home
How long has it been when`s the last time he kissed you
My you sure look lovely in that dress so tight and thin
There`s a look in your eye that cries somebody love me
And I wonder how long has it been
I sat down at your table and we shared a drink or two
All the things that first look told me now I find are really true
Someone`s neglect has left an emptiness where love used to be
Then you reached out and touched my hand softly whispered to me
How long has it been when`s the last time she held you
And made you feel wanted and needed and loved
There`s a look in your eye that cries somebody love me
And I wonder how long has it been
