It's been awhile
since i've seen your face
can't turn back the hands of time
but i wish i could

and it's been awhile
since you called my name
is it middle age fear
where do i go from here
is there a better place

lord knows the tears i've cried
didn't get to say goodbye
kept my feelings inside
and my head up high
cause it's been awhile
it's been awhile

lord knows the tears i've cried
didn't get to say goodbye
kept my feelings inside
and my head up high

and it's been awhile
but now i see your face
i thought you were gone
but you were here all along
and now i'm a better man
i thought you were gone
but you were here all along
