A Long Time Ago

Seems like such a long time ago

I was walking on a lonely road

Getting tired of dreamin' alone

Like all the lonely people I had known

Seems like such a long time ago

There was no one who would share my song

I was just a boy far from home

But I became a man when you came along

We spent the whole night talkin'

You said you'd like to see the sunrise

But in the gold of mornin'

Was nothing I had not seen in your eyes

I was so afraid to touch you

Thought you were too young too know

So I just watched you sleeping

Then you woke and said to me

The night is cold

It frightens me

And I could sleep so easy next to you

It wasn't very long ago

You said that you would like to share my road

Then you started singin' my song

You said so many nights are waiting

Let's not spend a moment wasting time

'Cause we have very far to go

I will go if you will take me

I have never had a lover

I am young

But I am so alone

We spent the whole night talkin'

But in the gold of mornin'
