The chorus of it goes like this "been a long time since u looked into my eyes, been a long time sinced u ever heard me cry, been a long time baby dont say goodbye, been a long time, been a long time"??

It might be: Yoshimoto vs Nicola Fasano feat Paula B - "Been a long time" ( Thank you Google. :-D )

Actually, this was probably the original, by The Fog, in 1998.

The Yoshimoto vs Nicola Fasano versions (and there are several remixes of their track) would have come more than 10 years later.
