Seems So Long Ago Lyrics by Carl Wilson

Carl Wilson

1981

Sat in the park just the other day
Saw little children about their way
The innocence mirrored in a little face
Took me back far away

Remembered when I was about that small
The park looked the same, but the trees seemed tall
Running and playing was my big concern
It took a while taking in it all

It took me back, far away
So long ago, to another time
Mmm, another place

Seems so long ago
Ah, seems so long ago
Seems so long ago
Seems so long ago

I can see mom and dad and the house we had
The trees in the yard and how dad worked so hard
The good times we shared and how much they cared
Mom's great smile, how she wouldn't cry

All they did to make us grow
Love and strong
Mmm, to not do wrong

Seems so long ago
Ah, seems so long ago
Seems so long ago
Seems so long ago
