Long Ago
( And Far Away )
Long ago and far away,
I dreamed a dream
one-day,
And now that dream is here beside
me!
Long the skies were
overcast,
But now the clouds have
past,
You’re here at last!
Chills run up and down my
spine,
Aladdin’s lamp is mine,
The dream I dreamed was not denied
me!
Just one look and then I
knew,
That all I longed for long
ago,
Was you!
Long ago, so long ago and far
away!
So long ago!
So long ago and far
away,
I dreamed a dream
one-day,
And now that dream is here beside
me!
Long the skies were
overcast,
But now the clouds have
past,
You’re here at
last!
Chills run up and down my
spine,
Aladdin’s lamp is mine,
The dream I dreamed was not denied
me!
Just one look and then I
knew,
That all I longed for long
ago,
So long ago, was you!
Just you!
