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
