It's Been A Long, Long Time

two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Dosado your corner, then go home and swing your own
Just swing a long...long...time
Allemande left the corner, and around the ring you go
Ya got a long...long...time
Right hand swing your gal, go twice around her
Walk around your corner when you've found her
Go back and promenade your dear and sweet talk in her ear
It's been a long...long...time

FIGURE   

Number 1 you promenade, now 2 wheel in behind
And then it's 3...and...4
Back right out and join your hands and make a great big ring
4 ladies chain...chain...chain
1 & 3 you right & left across...the ring
The ladies star across and swing your man...again
*Promenade and now's your chance, to whisper of romance
It's been a long...long...time

(Repeat figure with couple #2 leading, followed by couples #3, #4, and #1,
couples 2 & 4 doing the right & left thru)

(middle break)

(Repeat figure with couple #3 leading, followed by couples #4, #1, and #2,
couples 1 & 3 doing the right & left thru)

(Repeat figure with couple #4 leading, followed by couples #1, #2, and #3,
couples 2 & 4 doing the right & left thru)

(closer)
