Republic of Vietnam Time

 

It’s been a long time, it’s been awhile,
it’s been a fall, it’s been a winter,
it’s been a spring, and it’s been a summer;
it’s been a month, it’s been a year, but most of all;
it’s been a long time.  

It’s been a day, it’s been a night,
it’s been a week, and it’s been a fortnight;
it’s been an hour, it’s been a minute,
it’s been a second, and all those making time;
it’s been a long time. 

Does it seem like a long time?
As Peter, Paul and Mary sang,
“See what tomorrow brings”,
I think it also brings time,
because it’s been a long time.
