it's been a long time...

it's been a long time
since we played honeybuns
under the blankets

it's been a long time
since you cupped my lips
in your hands and made me speak
fishy-fishy-fishy

it's been a long time
since we fought over pulley bones
and wished wishes after 
sunday dinners 

it's been a long time
since you called on christmas eve
asking to speak to "merry"  

it's been a long time
since we stayed awake until midnight
on new year's eve
toasting each other
with cocktails of lime sherbet and ginger ale

it's been a long time
since you phoned on my birthday 
just to remind me it was national hillbilly day

it's been a long time...
