Long Ago
Lyrics
Once upon a time you whispered softly in my ear Lovin' words and fairy tales that I longed to hear I gave you my body and soul and you took control As you slowly swept me up and carried me away You told me pretty lies As I held onto you tight You knew how to get your way Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away (Now it's all so far, far) But you still haunt me And take me back to yesterday Every now and then I drown in thoughts of yesterday And the fools' paradise that you blew away I feel you beside me again and remember when You came to my window on a dark and stormy day Baby, I need you now (Right now) Tonight I'm crumbling down Sinkin' in the memories Shadows of you keep washin' over me Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away (Now it's all so far) But you still haunt me (You still haunt me, you still haunt me, yes you do, baby) Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me (Haunt me, haunt me) And take me back to yesterday So long ago, so long ago So long ago, so long ago So long ago, so long ago So long ago, so long ago Baby, I need you now (Oh, I need you right now, boy) 'Cause tonight I'm crumblin' down Sinkin' in the memories Shadows of you keep washin' over me Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me (Haunt me, haunt me) And take me back to yesterday Long ago (So long) You used to want me (So long ago) Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me (You do, you do, so long ago) Long ago (Once upon a time you came along) You used to want me (And you whispered softly in my ear) Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me
