Jim Croce - A Long Time Ago lyrics

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 have known



Seems like such a long time ago

There was noone who would share my song

I was just a boy far from home

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

T'was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes



I was so afraid to touch you

Thought you were to young to know

So I just watched you sleeping

Then you woke and said to me

The night is cold -- it frightens me

I could sleep so easy next to you



Wasn't very long ago

You said that you would like to share my road

Then you started singing my songs

Spent so many nights a-waiting

Let's not spend the moments wasting

Time for me has very far to go

I will go if you would 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...
