Long ago on a Monday morning She's already up and gone Miles away without a warning Never knowing for how long I don't think that I will forget her For her words were hard and cruel She once called me a pretender Even though my love was true And if I still had the number Would I hesitate to call? Would she make me feel like cryin'? Would she make me feel so small? There's been too many years gone by There's been too many years gone by How could I forget that winter It was 10 long years ago Blinded by the love between us Blinded by the fallin' snow She was everything that I needed She was everything to me Then the summer came and it freed her
And brought me down upon my knees And if I still had the number And if I had the nerve to call Would we laugh about that winter Would we laugh about it all? There's been too many years gone by There's been too many years gone by There's been too many years gone by and too many years tell lies A heart is a lonely place, when a heart has its own mine In mine there's an empty space, from a love that was left behind There's been too many years gone by There's been too many years gone by And too many years tell lies There's been too many years gone by And too many years tell lies There's been too many years gone by Whoah, and too many years tell lies
