Girl, it's been a long, long time comin'
F                  Bb                   F     Bb

It's gates for me and you

    C
And you've got me too

And everytime I think of it
  Dm                  Am

The sun always shines when I'm near you

To think of all the nights

I've cried myself to sleep

You really oughta know
                     Bb
How much you mean to me

In my life right here with me
