Hello, darlin’
Nice to see you
It’s been a long time
You’re just as lovely as you used to be
How’s your new love?
Are you happy?
Hope you’re doin’ fine
just to know it means so much to me
What’s that, darlin’?
How am I doin’?
I’m doin’ alright
Except I can’t sleep and I cry all night ’til dawn
What I’m trying to say
Is I love you
And I miss you
And I’m so sorry that I did you wrong
Look up, darlin’
Let me kiss you
Just for old time’s sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time
Thank you, darlin’
May God bless you
And each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find
Goodbye, darlin’
I gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose those memories of a love so warm and true
And if you should ever find it
In your heart to forgive me
Come back, darlin’
I’ll be waitin’ for you…
