Song of Long Ago

Whispering wind came uninvited
 Looking for somewhere else to go
 Here is a lamp I've left unlighted
 Aren't you someone I should know?
 Memory's flame is soon ignited
 Lighting my lamp with amber glow
 Quietly friends are reunited
 Singing a song of long ago
 ♪
 Cry, cry for someone
 Who just can't be happy
 And be glad you can feel enough to cry
 Younger than always, time descended
 Bringing me brand new seeds to sow
 Now that they've been a long time planted
 What must I do to help them grow?
 If it had been as I intended
 I wouldn't have the peace I know
 Loving the people I've befriended
 And singin' a song of long ago
 ♪
 As it began, so I will end it
 Singing a song of long ago
 Loving the people I've befriended
 And singin' a song of long, long, long ago
