The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It wasn't very long ago.
I met you,I saw you.
It wasn't very long ago.
You whispered "I love you"
Look at us now.
Crying our hearts out through the night.
Trying to remember what love was like, although...
It wasn't very long ago.
I thrilled when I kissed you.
It wasn't very long ago.
I cried when I missed you
Look at us now.
Crying at hearts out through the night.
Trying to remember what love was like
Although It wasn't very long ago.
Look look my eyes aren't shining with love
And they won't.
Look I'm not crying 'cause I need you,
I'm crying 'cause I don't, oh
It wasn't very long ago.
I held you, so closely.
It wasn't very long ago.
I dreamed of,you mostly
Look us now.
Crying at hearts out through the night.
Trying to remember what love was like.
Although it wasn't very long ago.
It wasn't very long ago.
It wasn't very long ago.
Not so very long ago..
