A Long Time Ago

Seems like such a long time ago I was walking on a lonely road Getting tired of dreaming alone Like all the lonely people I have known Seems like such a long time ago There was no one who would share my song I was just a boy far from home I became a man when you came along We spent the whole night talking You said you'd like to see the sunrise But in the gold of morning T'was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes I was so afraid to touch you Thought you were to young to know So I just watched you sleeping Then you woke and said to me The night is cold it frightens me I could sleep so easy next to you Wasn't very long ago You said that you would like to share my road Then you started singing my songs Spent so many nights a waiting Let's not spend the moments wasting Time for me has very far to go I will go if you would take me I have never had a lover I am young but I am so alone We spent the whole night talking But in the gold of morning --- A Long Time Ago - Jim Croce
