Once upon a time you whispered softly in my ear
Lovin’ words and fairy tales that I longed to hear
I gave you my body and soul and you took control
As you slowly swept me up and carried me away
You told me pretty lies
As I held onto you tight
You knew how to get your way
Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it’s all so far away (Now it’s all so far, far)
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday
Every now and then I drown in thoughts of yesterday
And the fools’ paradise that you blew away
I feel you beside me again and remember when
You came to my window on a dark and stormy day
Baby, I need you now (Right now)
Tonight I’m crumbling down
Sinkin’ in the memories
Shadows of you keep washin’ over me
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it’s all so far away (Now it’s all so far)
But you still haunt me
(You still haunt me, you still haunt me, yes you do, baby)
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it’s all so far away
But you still haunt me (Haunt me, haunt me)
And take me back to yesterday
So long ago, so long ago
So long ago, so long ago
So long ago, so long ago
So long ago, so long ago
Baby, I need you now (Oh, I need you right now, boy)
‘Cause tonight I’m crumblin’ down
Sinkin’ in the memories
Shadows of you keep washin’ over me
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it’s all so far away
But you still haunt me (Haunt me, haunt me)
And take me back to yesterday
Long ago (So long)
You used to want me
(So long ago)
Now it’s all so far away
But you still haunt me (You do, you do, so long ago)
Long ago (Once upon a time you came along)
You used to want me (And you whispered softly in my ear)
Now it’s all so far away
But you still haunt me
