Tell me the tales that to me were so dear

Long, long ago, long, long ago

Sing me the songs I delight in to hear

Long, long ago, long ago



Now you are come all my fears are removed

Let me forget for how long you have grown

Let me believe that you love as you loved

Long, long ago, long ago



Do you remember the past where we met

Long, long ago, long, long ago

Ah yes, you told me you'd never forget

Long, long ago, long ago



Then, to all others, my smile you preferred

Love, when you spoke, gave a charm to each word

Still my heart treasures the praises I heard

Long, long ago, long ago
