Have I Stayed Away Too Long 1943

Have I stayed away too long?
Have I stayed away too long?
If I came home tonight
Would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
The love light that shone so strong
Sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight
Would that same light be shinin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'm just outside of town
I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town
And worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight
Would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

Have I stayed away too long?
Have I stayed away too long?
If I came home tonight
Would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
The love light that shone so strong
Sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight
Would that same light be shinin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'm just outside of town
I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town
And worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight
Would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
