THE STATLER BROTHERS
"Quite A Long, Long Time"
(DeWitt)

Perhaps the semi darkness of this room has me confused You say that you're an old, old friend of mine And if I'm wrong about you then I beg to be excused It's just that I have not seen you in quite a long. long time. Or could it be the bottle that you're holding in your hand The girl I knew could never be that kind Please be patient with me I will place you if I can It's just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time. The dimple in your cheek is familiar I'll admit And the smile does resemble one I've known And the color of your hair does remind me quite a bit Of someone the shade of blonde is not just like her own. Now I must go it's getting late and I do wish you well And please go kind of easy on the wine It's possible I know you but it's really hard to tell It's just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time...
