It's Been A While lyrics

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 goodbye
