How Long Has It Been

Saw you there on the barstool as I walked in
And the look we gave each other said we both need a friend
Is this the first time you've come here all the nights you've been alone
Searching for something that just isn't at home

How long has it been when's the last time he kissed you
My you sure look lovely in that dress so tight and thin
There's a look in your eye that cries somebody love me
And I wonder how long has it been

I sat down at your table we shared a drink or two
All the things that first look told me now I find are really true
Someone's neglect has left an emptiness where love used to be
Then you reached out and touched my hand softly whispered to me

How long has it been when's the last time she held you
And made you feel wanted and needed and loved
There's a look in your eye that cries somebody love me
And I wonder how long has it been
