The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have I stayed away too long
Have I stayed away too long
If I came home tonight would you still be my darling
Or have I stayed away too long
The love light shone in your eyes
Pretty love light that shone in your eyes
If I came home tonight would that same light be shining
Or have I stayed away too long
I'm just outside of town and I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best stay out of town and worry you no more
Cause maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong
My beautiful dreams gone wrong
If I'd came home tonight would you still be my darling
Or have I stayed away too long
Maybe I stayed away too long
