Lyrics How Long Has It Been - Shirley Caesar

How long has it been since we kissed that night
Since our love exchanged its deepest touch
And feeling one last time
How long has it been since I had a day
When my life was filled with happiness
Before you went away

How long has it been since we were in love
Staring at the stars, dreams floating above
How long has it been since the sky was blue
Since I told you dear I'm in love with you

How long has it been since we said goodbye
Since I looked deep in your eyes

When you told me that we'd never
Go our separate ways
I believed you, held it tightly every single day
Till the one you'd come fill each and every promise
Make it last forever
Is this what you asked for
Is your promise just as good as before

How long has it been since we were in love
Staring at the stars, dreams floating above
How long has it been since the sky was blue
Since I told you dear I'm in love with you

How long has it been since we kissed that night
Since our love exchanged its deepest touch
And feeling one last time
How long has it been since I had a day
That you never went away

How long has it been since we kissed that night
Since our love exchanged its deepest touch
And feeling one last time
How long has it been since I had a day
When my life was filled with happiness
Before you went away

How long has it been since we were in love
Staring at the stars, dreams floating above
How long has it been since the sky was blue
Since I told you dear I'm in love with you

How long has it been since we said goodbye
Since I looked deep in your eyes

When you told me that we'd never
Go our separate ways
I believed you, held it tightly every single day
Till the one you'd come fill each and every promise
Make it last forever
Is this what you asked for
Is your promise just as good as before

How long has it been since we were in love
Staring at the stars, dreams floating above
How long has it been since the sky was blue
Since I told you dear I'm in love with you

How long has it been since we kissed that night
Since our love exchanged its deepest touch
And feeling one last time
How long has it been since I had a day
That you never went away
