How Long Has It Been

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 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 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
