Long, Long Ago

Word and Music: T.H. Bayly
Tell me the tales
That to me were so dear
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Sing me the songs
I delighted to hear
Long, Long ago, Long ago
Now you are come
All my grief is removed
Let me forget
That so long you have roved
Let me believe
That you love as you loved,
Long, Long ago, Long ago

Do you remember
The path where we met,
Long, long ago
Long, long ago?
That's when you told me
You would not forget,
Long, long ago, Long ago.
Then, to all others
My smile you preferred
Love, when you spoke,
Gave a charm to each word
Still my heart treasures
The praises I heard
Long, long ago, Long ago.

Though by your kindness
My fond hopes were raised
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
You by more eloquent Lip have been praised
Long, long ago, Long ago.
But by long absence your truth have been tried
Still to your accents I listen with pride
Blessed as I was
When I sat by your side
Long,long ago, Long ago
