Long Ago Lyrics by Dan Penn

The Fame Recordings

2012

[Verse 1]
There's a girl that I used to love long ago
We used to kiss under stars above long ago
She used to cuddle up in my arms
Oh, her lips were so tender and warm
And life was good, so good long ago
{Verse 2}
Lookin' back on those days, those happy days (Long ago)
I know I should've changed my ways long ago
Like a fool I told you goodbye
Well, now I sit and cry
Oh Lord, I sit and cry for long ago
[Bridge]
Oh, how I wish I could, I could turn back the hands of time
Back to long ago when you were mine
[Verse 3]
How I long for those days, those happy days (Long ago)
Yes, I should've changed my ways long ago
I always meant to come back home
But time slipped by, and now they're gone, oh, gone
Gone are the wonderful days of long ago
[Outro]
Long ago
Long ago
Yeah, gone are the wonderful days of long ago
