Its been a long time... <br />Since I held you tight. <br />Its been a long time... <br />Everyday in this fight. <br />Its been a long...long...time. <br /> <br />Its been a long time... <br />Since I've had a kiss. <br />Its been a long time... <br />You're pretty blue eyes I miss. <br />Its been a long...long...time. <br /> <br />Its been a long time... <br />This Iraqi tour. <br />Its been a long time... <br />I miss you so and more. <br />Its been a long...long...time. <br /> <br />Its been a long time... <br />Hot days with freezing nights. <br />Its been a long time... <br />Sunburned face, mosquito bites. <br />Its been a long...long...time. <br /> <br />Its been a long time... <br />Had a real bad day. <br />Its been a long time... <br />Lost some soldiers today. <br />Its been a long...long...time. <br /> <br />Its been a long time... <br />I suffer everyday. <br />Its been a long time... <br />For me to be away. <br />Its been a long...long...time. <br /> <br />Its been a long time... <br />For me to be alone. <br />Its been a long time... <br />No talking on the telephone. <br />Its been a long...long...time. <br /> <br />Its been a long time... <br />Since you heard me say... <br />Baby, my sweet darling... <br />I'm leaving Iraq today!<br /><br />Philip Lore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/its-been-a-long-long-time/
