Long Time Ago - Mary Hopkin

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 had known

Seems like such a long time ago

There was no one who would share my song

I was just a girl far from home

But I became a woman 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

You were so afraid to touch me

Thought I was too young to know

So I just watched you sleeping

Then you woke and said to me

«The night is cold it frightens me

And 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 song

Sat so many nights a-waiting

Let’s not spend a moment’s wasting

Time 'cause we have very far to go

I will go if you will 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
