I’ve been loving you so long now
What I’d give if I could see you once again
Just to throw my arms around you
And live those happy times again.

Lovely lady, it seemed so right
When I held you all through the night
I could see me forever loving you
I never thought of losing you.

‘Cause, I’ve been loving you so long now
What I’d give if I could see you once again
Just to throw my arms around you
And live those happy times again.

Hungry lovers, we used to cling so tight
Whisper softly all through the night
And I remember so many loving days
I can’t believe they’ve slipped away.

‘Cause, I’ve been loving you so long now
What I’d give if I could see you once again
Just to throw my arms around you
And live those happy times again.

I’ve been loving you so long now
What I’d give if I could see you once again
Just to throw my arms around you…
