It's Been a While

It's been a while since the time
 You left and said goodbye
 And now I know
 Why you had to change your mind
 When all this time I have felt
 That this love would never end
 Though I've said
 I'm letting go with your goodbye
 Now you're here to stay
 That I have done no wrong
 And if my love is gone
 Then this time you're letting go
 But my heart's here to stay
 Forever and a day
 So tell me you would stay
 Tell me this time you'll never say goodbye
 And since you've gone
 All my days, I've been hangin' on to your love
 Every moment you left is here with me
 All this time I have felt
 That this love would never end
 Though I've said
 I'm letting go with your goodbye
 So my heart's here to stay
 Forever and a day
 So tell me you would stay
 Tell me this time you'll never say goodby
