Lou Adler - Song of Long Ago lyrics

Whispering wind came uninvited Looking for somewhere else to go Here is a lamp I've left unlighted Aren't you someone I should know? Memory's flame is soon ignited Lighting my lamp with amber glow Quietly friends are reunited Singing a song of long ago, la la la... Cry, cry for someone Who just can't be happy And be glad you can feel enough to cry Younger than always, time descended Bringing me brand new seeds to sow Now that they've been a long time planted What must I do to help them grow? If it had been as I intended I wouldn't have the peace I know Loving the people I've befriended Singin' a song of long ago, la la la... As it began, so I will end it Singing a song of long ago Loving the people I've befriended And singin' a song of long, long, long ago
