TOO LONG SINCE I'VE SEEN YOU

Frederick Chipkins Musical Diary

I just finished writing my song, “Too Long Since I’ve Seen You,” and I’m excited to share it with you all. This song holds a special place in my heart as it was inspired by a recent trip my wife, Rimma, took to Florida. She was only gone for five days, but those days felt like an eternity. The house felt emptier, and I realized just how much I missed my other half. During those five days, I found myself reflecting on our time together and how much she means to me. The lyrics and melody of this song capture the longing and anticipation I felt while waiting for her return.  “Too Long Since I’ve Seen You” ©2024 Frederick Chipkin I put my heart and soul into the songs I write.

00:00It's been five days since you left, since you got on to that flight

00:13If you may be mine, return to me tonight If I'd never met you, if I didn't know your name

00:25Would the fates still go my way, or would I be the same?

00:32Oh, how long we have waited Oh, how long till you stay

00:44My lonely days have surely not ended I'm holding on as you come back my way

00:57Day breaks and my heart aches The days go long since you walked through that door

01:08It's been so long since I've seen you, nothing matters much

01:14Time stands still when you're with me, I'm feeling out of touch

01:20These four walls seem to echo in the darkness of the night

01:26Waiting to take a breath once more, while I'm waiting for that flight

01:33Oh, how long we have waited Oh, how long till you stay

01:45My lonely days have surely not ended I'm holding on as you come back my way

01:57Day breaks and my heart aches The days go long since you walked through that door

02:09You call me from the taxi, your voice is bittersweet

02:15It won't be long, it's been too long, now I am complete

02:21Oh, how long we have waited The miles you travel have faded away

02:32Broken time is gone and nearly mended In my arms you've come back to stay

02:44Day breaks and my heart aches The days go long since you walked through that door
