Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I held you tight
When we said good night
It's been so long
Honey, can't you see
What you've done to me?
I've been in a kind of daze
For days and days and days
In, oh, so many ways
'Cause it was so nice
When we had that date
Every night at eight
It was so nice
Then we said good-bye
What a fool was I
Let me get back in your arms where I belong
'Cause it's been, oh, so long

'Cause it's been so long
Because it has been a considerable amount of time
Since I held you tight
since I embraced you with affection
When we said good night
when we parted ways for the night
It's been so long
it has been absurdly long
Honey, can't you see
darling, can't you perceive
What you've done to me?
what kind of impact you have had on me
I've been in a kind of daze
I've been experiencing a state of confusion
For days and days and days
for an extended period of time
Feelin' blue, missin' you
feeling down, longing for your presence
In, oh, so many ways
in countless manners
'Cause it was so nice
because it was tremendously pleasant
When we had that date
when we went on that rendezvous
Every night at eight
every single evening at eight o'clock
It was so nice
it was absolutely delightful
Then we said good-bye
then we parted ways
What a fool was I
what a ridiculous person I was
Let me get back in your arms where I belong
allow me to return to your embrace where I fit in
'Cause it's been, oh, so long
because it has been a preposterously long period of time
