It's Been A Long Long Time
Luis Arcaraz & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time
I've 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
Ah, 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 I 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
Long, long time

IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME
It's been an extended period since we last saw each other
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Express your love to me by kissing me multiple times
Then kiss me once again
Show me your affection one more time
Haven't felt like this, my dear
I haven't experienced this level of emotion in a while
Since I can't remember when
I can't recall the last time I felt this way
You'll never know how many dreams
You'll never understand how often you've appeared in my dreams
I've dreamed about you
You've been on my mind during my slumber
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
My dreams felt incomplete without your presence
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Please express your love to me through multiple kisses
It's been a long, long time
It's been a while since we last connected
Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Emphasize your affection for me through repeated kisses
Haven't felt like this my dear
I haven't felt this way in quite some time, my love
You'll never know how many dreams
I dream of you more often than you realize
I dreamed about you
My dreams have been filled with thoughts of you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
Every dream without you has felt incomplete
So kiss me once then kiss me twice
Please show your love to me through multiple kisses
Then kiss me once again
Give me one more kiss before we depart
It's been a long, long time
It's been far too long since our last encounter
Long, long time
An extended period of time has passed since we last connected
