Once upon a time
You whispered softly in my ear
Loving words and fairy tales
That I longed to hear
I gave you my body and soul
And you took control
As you slowly swept me up
And carried me away

You told me pretty lies
As I held on to you tight
You knew how to get your way
Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace

Long ago
You used to want me
Now, it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday

Ev'ry now and then
I drown in thoughts of yesterday
And the fool's paradise

That you blew away
I feel you beside me again
And remember when
You came to my window
On a dark and stormy day

Baby, I need you now
Tonight, I'm crubling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me

Long ago
You used to want me
Now, it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday

So long ago (repeat 8 times)

Baby, I need you now
(I need you right now, boy, 'cause)
Tonight, I'm crubling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me

Long ago
You used to want me
Now, it's all so far away
But you still haunt me

Long ago
You used to want me
Now, it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
