Long time ago
It feels like a dream
Long time ago
Hear my memory scream
You loved me so
Long time ago

I keep a photograph
Of you from that time
It never ages
It’s never cold or unkind
It’s hard to remember now
When I called you mine

You can tell yourself something
But it may not be true
You can tell yourself something
All day and night through
But you know when you’re lying
And I know it too

Cars passing by
On this busy street
Faces inside them
Bitter and sweet
And I wonder about you
Glorious in defeat

Once there was a future
Now there is a past
Once there was future
That we couldn’t make last
When you least expect it
Life comes hard and fast

Long time ago now
It seems like a dream
Long time ago now
Hear my memory scream
You were loving me so
Long time ago
