Dm D# F Bb Dm
It’s been a long day, short night
Gm Dm
Well I can hardly wait until we had our date
D# F Bb Dm
It’s been a long, long, long day,
Gm Dm
And then we meet at last, the hours passed so fast
D# F Bb
It was a short, short night
 
Bb
The moment when I’m alone with you
Cm
That’s when all of my wishes and all of my dreams come true
Dm
But time waits for no one
D# F
When there’s so much love here in my heart
D# F
Honey, why we had to part?
 
It’s been a long day, short night
I need to love so much that when we’re out of touch
It’s a long, long, long day,
But will you marry me, each night of love will be
A very short, short night
