by George Jones
(1961)
GIt will take a long time to forgDet you my dear
A long long time I'll regret you're not hGere
AA long time remembering when I had you so Cnear
It will tDake a long time to forGget
There's a lot of people out a wDalkin' tonight
Thinkin' about arms that held 'em so tGight
Memories keep a comin' in sCight
Take a lDong long time to foGrget
It will take a long time to forDget you my dear...
A long long time I'll regret you're not hGere
AA long time remembering when I had you so Cnear
It will tDake a long time to forGget
I know a young fellow that lDived down the street
He had a good woman everything was complGete
She was understandin' yes she was so sCweet
It took a lDong long time to forGget
It takes a long long time to forget you my dear...
Now there's an old sayin' you're as Dold as you feel
But time waits for no one and it never wGill
I keep a wantin' and lovin' you Cstill
It takes a lDong long time to forGget
