Hasn't it only been a day   Since you began to pack your things?   Has it only been a week   Since you told me you are to leave?      And has it only been a month   Since I asked you what was wrong?   Has it only been a year   Since I told you first my dear?      So little time to say I love you   So little time to say goodbye   And I hope that you will be faithful      Or at least I hope you'll try   'Cause I don't know how long I can be along   The song goes on and on when you're not home      It's been the longest year   Since you left me here   This month goes on and on   Since you told me you were wrong      And these weeks've been so slow   Since you said that you'd come home   Now I only have a day to wait   To kiss when you step off the plain      No I don't mind if time goes fast or slow   Or take off the clocks of the walls when we get home
