Carole King — Song of Long Ago Live

[Intro] Well, right about now I think I'm gonna get some help. Would you welcome please Charlie Larkey on bass.  This is, uh, about some old friends. It's called "A Song of Long Ago." Not to be confused with "Long Ago and Far Away." You see, I wrote this under the heavy influence of James Taylor.  [Verse 1] Whispering wind came, uninvited Looking for somewhere else to go Here is a lamp I've left unlighted Aren't you someone I should know? Memory's flame is soon ignited Lighting my lamp with amber glow Quietly, friends are reunited Singing a song of long ago [Chorus] La la la, la da doh da La da la, la la la La da da da Da da da la la da da da da Doh la da la da [Bridge] Cry, cry for someone Who just can't be happy And be glad you can feel enough to cry [Verse 2] Younger than always, time descended Bringing me brand new seeds to sow Now that they've been a long time planted What must I do to help them grow? If it had been as I intended I wouldn't have the peace I know Loving the people I've befriended And singing a song of long ago [Chorus] La la la, la da doh da La da la, la la la Da da da da La da da da la doh da la [Outro] As it began, so I will end it Singing a song of long ago Loving the people I've befriended And singing a song of long, long, long ago Thank you.
