Subject: CRD/LYR/TAB: A long time ago - Jim Croce
A few days ago someone asked about Photographs and Memories by
John Denver, but actually he or she was reffering to A long time ago
by Jim Croce. So here it is. I TABbed the intro only (due to
lazyness...), which is basically the same as the verse.
A long time ago - Jim Croce
Intro: - - - - - - -
Seems like such a long time ago
I was walking on lonely road
Getting tired of dreamin' 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
And I became a man when you came along
We spent the whole night talking
You said you'd like to see the sun rise
But in the gold of morning
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes
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 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 song
You said so many nights are waiting
Let's not spent a moment waisting 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
(...)
Hmmm, mmm mmm
