It's Been a Long, Long Time
A Timeless Embrace: Rediscovering Love in Stan Kenton's Melody
Lyrics
IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Desiring a kiss, the first of a series.
Then kiss me once again
Seeking additional kisses, creating a sense of intimacy.
It's been a long, long time
Reiterating the theme of a prolonged period.
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Expressing a unique emotional state not felt in a while.
Since I can't remember when
Recalling a distant point in time with similar emotions.
It's been a long, long time
Reiterating the idea of a considerable duration.
You'll never know how many dreams
Highlighting the uncountable dreams related to the person.
I've dreamed about you
Emphasizing the extensive dream experiences involving the person.
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
Noting the emotional emptiness in the absence of the person.
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Requesting more kisses to fill the emotional void.
Then kiss me once again
Reinforcing the desire for closeness and affection.
It's been a long, long time
Repeating the theme of a prolonged duration.
Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Continuing the plea for kisses, underlining their importance.
Then kiss me once again
Stressing the need for repeated kisses to establish connection.
It's been a long time
Reiterating the idea of a significant passage of time.
Haven't felt like this my dear
Expressing a unique emotional state not felt in a while (repeated).
Since I can't remember when
Recalling a distant point in time with similar emotions (repeated).
It's been a long, long time
Reiterating the theme of a prolonged duration (repeated).
You'll never know how many dreams
Highlighting the uncountable dreams related to the person (repeated).
I dreamed about you
Emphasizing the extensive dream experiences involving the person (repeated).
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
Noting the emotional emptiness in the absence of the person (repeated).
So kiss me once then kiss me twice
Requesting more kisses to fill the emotional void (repeated).
Then kiss me once again
Reinforcing the desire for closeness and affection (repeated).
It's been a long, long time
Repeating the theme of a prolonged duration (repeated).
Long, long time
Further emphasizing the extended period of time.
