It's been so long 
Since you've been gone 
I don't know where to begin this song 
Whereever you are 
I hope it's not to far 
For you to hear me 
It's been so wild 

Lay next to me 
Cry please don't run 
But i wouldn't fight or carry a gun 
I went far away 
To start a new life 
If i had stayed there 
You'd be my wife 

And i know i'd recognize your face 
Your memory keeps haunting me 
And i can't forget what time won't erase 

You know it's hard for me to come back now 
There's prison to face though the filing is done (???) 
Where can i find you 
Daddy you have a son that's never seen you 
He looks just like you 

And i know i'd recognize your face 
Your memory keeps haunting me 
And i can't forget what time won't erase 

I've sent this letter so many times 
It keeps coming back 
No one here about that knew 
Are you still lingering back 
Well it's so hard to keep long (???) True love in 
winter 
It's been so long 

And i know i'd recognize your face 
The season has come i can't let go 
And i'd know your sweet smile any place 

And i know i'd recognize your face 
(any time you know now) 
Anyplace anytime you know i'm still in love with you 
And i know i'd recognize your face
