A Long Long Time Ago Songtext
von Jim Croce

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 boy far from home
But 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
Was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm


I was so afraid to touch you
Thought you were too young to know
So I just watched you sleeping
Then you woke and said to me
"The night is cold, ifrightens me
I could sleep so easy next to you"

It wasn't very long ago
You said that you would like to share my road
Then you started singing my song

You said so many nights are waiting
Let′s not spend a moment 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
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
