The Lyrics of Long, Long Ago:
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 ago.
now you have come,
all my grief is removed,
let me forget
just as long as i do,
let me believe
that you always be here,
long, long ago,
long ago.
do you remember
the path where we met,
long, long ago,
long, long ago?
that's when you told me
you would not 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.
now you have come,
all my grief is removed,
let me forget
just as long as i could,
let me believe
that you always be here,
long, long ago long ago.
