[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Long ago you used to want me Now it's all so far away (now is all so far, so far) But you still haunt me And take me back to yesterday [Verse 2] Every now and then I drown in thoughts of yesterday And the fool's 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 [Pre-Chorus] Baby, I need you now (I need you, baby, right now) 'Cause tonight I'm crumbling down Sinking in the memories Shadows of you keep washing over me [Chorus] Long ago you used to want me Now it's all so far away (now is all so far) But you still haunt me (You still haunt me, you still haunt me, yes you do, baby) Long ago you used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me (haunt me) Take me back to yesterday So long ago, so long ago, so long ago So long ago, so long ago, so long ago So long ago, so long ago, so long ago [Pre-Chorus] Baby I need you now (Oh, I need you right now, boy) 'Cause tonight I'm crumbling down Sinking in the memories Shadows of you keep washing over me [Chorus] 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 Long ago you used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me So long ago Long ago you used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me
