Lyrics
Hello, darlin’
Nice to see you
It’s been a long time
You’re just as handsome as you used to be
How’s your new love?
Are you happy?
Hope you’re doing fine
Just to know it means so much to me
What’s that, darlin’?
How’m I doing?
I’m doing all right
Except I can’t sleep and I cry all night ’til dawn
What I’m trying to say is I love you and miss you
And I’m so sorry that I did you wrong
Look up, Darlin’
Let me kiss you just for old time sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time
Thank you darlin’
May God bless you and may each step you take
Brings you closer to the things you seek to find
Goodbye, darlin’
Gotta go now, gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem’ries 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 waiting for you
