Well I haven't seen you for a long time,
And I've wondered just how well you've been.
I'm sitting alone in the evening,
So I thought I would write to a friend.
I remember some sad times together,
When a smile was a hard thing to find.
And I leaned on you harder than ever,
Cause you gave me a lot of your time.
Since then you've burned all your bridges,
And you carry the weight by yourself.
Nobody knows where your heart is,
For we all hear it crying for help.
Haven't seen you for a long time
Ooooh, haven't seen you for a long time.
Haven't seen you for a long time,
Ooooh, haven't seen you for a long, long time.
Well I guess we've both gone through some changes,
And our edges are worn here and there.
But you showed me the secret to living,
And sharing my love through a prayer.
Now you tell me you're quite hard to live with,
Well, I'm ashamed of myself now and then.
But I found a new life in forgiveness,
It can put you in touch once again.
But now you've burned all your bridges,
And you carry the weight by yourself.
And nobody knows where your heart is,
But we all hear it crying for help.
Ooooh, haven't seen you for a long time.
Haven't seen you for a while.
Haven't seen you for a long time,
Ooooh, I haven't seen you for a while.
Haven't seen you for a long time.
Haven't seen you for a while.
