A long, long time ago.

A long, long time ago 

On a bench by the old folk’s way

Where the children used to play

Singing songs on a summers day

In the afternoon

Now we sit and remember when

We were the children then

We will never be young again

In the afternoon

I remember we used to say

We’ll never grow old that way

We are young

And young we’ll stay

Wild and free in the afterglow

Time is now; we can let time go

Yesterdays now are all we know

We lived our lives a long, long time ago. 

We were lovers and we were wed

We shared our hearts, our bed

Now it seems that desire is dead

Though I still love you

We sip tea as the time goes by

And we never wonder why

We let all the romance die

Though I still love you

Still, I know in my wildest dreams

Nothing’s quite the way it seems

We should live like kings and queens

Wild and free in the afterglow

Time is now, we can let time go

Yesterdays now are all we know

We lived our lives

A long, long time ago. 

I remember it was so fine

When I used to make you mine.

Come to bed with me one more time;

For I still love you.
