QUITE A LONG, LONG TIME
WRITER LEW DeWITT

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...
