Quite a Long, Long Time

Perhaps the semi darkness of this room has me confused
You say that you’re an old, old friend of mine
And if I’m wrong about you then I beg to be excused
It’s just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time
Or could it be the bottle that you’re holding in your hand
The girl I knew could never be that kind
Please be patient with me I will place you if I can
It’s just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time
The dimple in your cheek is familiar I’ll admit
And the smile does resemble one I’ve known
And the color of your hair does remind me quite a bit
Of someone the shade of blonde is not just like her own
Now I must go it’s getting late and I do wish you well
And please go kind of easy on the wine
It’s possible I know you but it’s really hard to tell
It’s just that I have not seen you in quite a long, long time…
