Once upon a time you whispered softly in my ear

Loving words, and fairy tales that I longed to hear

I gave you my body and soul and you took control

As you slowly swept me up and carried me away



You told me pretty lies

As I held onto you tight

You knew how to get your way

Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace



Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me

And take me back to yesterday



Every now and then I drown in thoughts of yesterday

And the fools paradise that you blew away

I feel you beside me again and remember when

You came to my window on a dark and stormy day



Baby I need you now

Tonight I'm crumbling down

Sinking in the memories

Shadows of you keep washing over me



Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me

Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me

And take me back to yesterday



Baby I need you now

Tonight I'm crumbling down

Sinking in the memories

Shadows of you keep washing over me



Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me
