Long Ago


Long Ago
Bob Mullany © 10-29-1985 (Key of G)


Back in an age of innocence
With new love’s boundless confidence
We both knew we never would part
Through fortune or coincidence
I’ve never ever seen you since
Though you still hold a place in my heart


It was long ago, but , oh...
The touch of your fingers,
The scent of your skin,
The taste of your mouth
It was long ago, but, oh...
An ember still lingers
Love, where have you been,
And where are you now ?


Burning bridges we have crossed
Choices taken, choices lost
Further and further we strayed
Memories so deep embossed
Worn a bit but never lost
Never quite faded away…


It was long ago, but, oh...
The touch of your fingers
The scent of your skin
The taste of your mouth
It was long ago, but, oh...
An ember still lingers
Love, where have you been,
And where are you now ?


Another time, another space,
And love may wear another face
But that doesn’t change what love is
Memories still hold a place
As new love’s pleasures are embraced
And love is much richer for this.


It was long ago, but , oh...
The touch of your fingers
The scent of your skin
The taste of your mouth
It was long ago, but, oh...
An ember still lingers
Love, where have you been,
And where are you now ?
