Once upon a time you whispered softly in my ear
Loving words and fairytales, 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, yeah

[Refrain] :
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 (right now)
Tonight I'm crumbling down (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
(You still haunt me, you still haunt me)
(Yes, you do baby)

[Refrain]

So long ago... (8x)

And oh, oh, oh
Baby, I need you now
Oh, I need you right now boy
Cuz tonight I'm crumbling down (yeah)
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me, hey hey

[Refrain]

Long ago (so long)
You used to want me (so long)
Now it's all so far away (tonight I'm crumblin' down)
But you still haunt me (you do, you do, you do, you do)

Long ago
(Once upon a time you came along)
You used to want me
(And you whispered softly in my ear)
Now it's all so far away
(Loving words and all those fairytales)
But you still haunt me...
