It's Been A Long Long Time
Don Lamond and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since can't remember when
It's been a long, long time
You'll never know how many dreams
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Just kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long time
Haven't felt like this my dear
Since can't remember when
It's been a long, long time
You'll never know how many dreams
I dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
So kiss me once then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
A long, long time
The lyrics to Don Lamond's "It's Been A Long Long Time" express a desire for affection and reconnection. The singer longs for a kiss, not just once but multiple times. The repetition of the request for kisses serves to emphasize the singer's yearning and desperation. The use of the phrase "It's been a long, long time" throughout the song indicates that the singer has been waiting for this kiss for a long period of time, and it is finally within reach.
The second stanza reveals that the singer has not felt this way "since can't remember when," emphasizing that their feelings of love and desire have been dormant for quite some time. The following line, "You'll never know how many dreams I've dreamed about you," reveals that the singer has been thinking about the person they are addressing for a long time, further emphasizing their longing. The final line, "or just how empty they all seemed without you," highlights the singer's feelings of loneliness and sadness in the absence of the person they are addressing.
