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 onto 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
Every now and then I drown in thoughts of yesterday
In a 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 crumbling 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
And take me back to yesterday
So long ago
So long ago
So long ago
So long ago
So long ago
So long ago
So long ago
So long ago
Baby I need you now
'Cause tonight I'm crumbling 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
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
Long ago you used to want me
Now it's all so far away but you still haunt me
