Story Behind The Song

I wrote it about an approaching trans-Atlantic visit from my future wife. I already knew, and so did she.

Song Description

A little sassy, jazzy, country song that gets you moving.

Chorus
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time comin'
This crazy little thing we call love
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time comin'

Verse
Tonight you got me captured by your pretty blue eyes
The scent of your perfume, it's got me, got me so high
I wonder if I'm crazy, tell me is this really love
You're lookin' like an angel that's been sent down from above

Chorus
Yeah, this thing we call love
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time comin'
This crazy little thing we call love
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time comin'

Verse
Well, you say you like the way I dream, you like the things I say
You say you wanna kiss me, and that love will find the way
Tomorrow you'll be leavin', and I know I'll miss you true
So tonight let's make the best of time, it's up to me and you

Chorus
Baby won't you give me your love
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time comin'
This crazy little thing we call love
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time comin'

Bridge
There's somethin' 'bout the way you look,it's got me hypnotized
As you slip oit of your dress, you take me by surprise
When we make love I can see it in your eyes
You ain't lettin' go until the feelin' satisfies

Chorus
Baby, I need your love
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time comin'
This crazy little thing we call love
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time comin'
