Long Long Ago -- James Lye

 

Tell me the tales that to me were so dear

Long long ago, long long ago

Sing me the songs I delighted to hear

Long long ago, long long ago

Now you are come, all my grief is removed

Let me forget that so long you have roved

Let me believe that you love as you loved,

Long long ago, long ago

 

Do you remember the path where we met,

Long long ago, long long ago

Ah yes, you told me you would never forget,

Long long ago, long ago

Then to all others, my smile you preferred

Love when you spoke gave a charm to each word

Still my heart treasures the praises I heard,

Long long ago, long ago
