OK, maybe it's not a folk song, but it's been driving me crazy. Some years ago (like probably at least 10 maybe as many as 20) there was a song with lyrics that went "Years of hanging on to dreams already gone, years of wishing you were here. After all this time, you'd think I wouldn't mind, it's just that I still love you after all this time." I can't remember who sang it (But it was a woman)or what it was called. It played on the radio for a very brief time and was gone. I've been looking for years, to no avail. I figured if anyone could come up with what it was, it would be you folks. Any help would be appreciated.

Lyrics transcribed from an old AM radio broadcast

YEARS
Recorded by Barbara Mandrell

Faded photographs
The feelings all come back
Even now sometimes it feels so real
And I still see your face
Like it was yesterday
Funny how the days turned into years.

CHORUS
Years of hangin' on
To dreams already gone
Years of wishin' you were here
After all this time
You'd think I wouldnt cry
It just that I still love you
After all these years.

Night-time gently falls
Another day is gone
I turn around to find you're still not here
I leave the hall light on
In case you come back home
Funny I've been saying that for years.

CHORUS

TAG: After all these years.
