Jim Croce — A Long Time Ago

[Verse 1] 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 had known [Verse 2] Seems like such a long time ago There was no one who would share my song I was just a boy far from home But I became a man when you came along [Post-Verse] We spent the whole night talking You said you'd like to see the sun rise But in the gold of morning Was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes Hmm-hmm [Bridge] I was so afraid to touch you Thought you were too young, you 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 [Verse 3] Wasn't very long ago You said that you would like to share my road Then you started singing my song [Bridge] Spent so many nights a-waiting Lets not spend our moments wasting time Because 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 [Outro] We spent the whole night talking But in the gold of morning
