Seems like [D] such a long time [Em] ago,
[D] [C] [G] I was walking on a [C] lonely [G]
road
Getting [D] tired of dreaming [Em] alone,
[D] [C] [G] like all the lonely [C] people I [G] had known
Seems like [D] such a long [Em] time ago,
[D] [C] [G] there was no one who would [G] share my song
I was just a [D] boy [Em] far from home, [D] [C] [G] but I became a man [C] when you [G] came along
[C] We [G] spent [A] the [Em] whole night talking, [G] you said [C] you'd like [Em] to see [D] the [G] sunrise
[C] [G] But [Em] in the golden morning, was [G] nothing that [C] I had [Em] not [G] seen in your eyes
[Em] [D] I was [C] [G] so afraid to touch [Am] you, thought you [G] were too young to [C] know
So I just [G] watched you sleeping, [A] [Em] [D] [C] then you [G] woke and said to [A] me
The night is [G] cold, it frightens [C] me, I could [G] sleep so easy [A] next to [Em] you
[D] [Am] [Em] [D]
[G] It wasn't [D] very [Em] long ago,
[D] [C] you [G] said that you would like to [C] share [G] my road
Then you [D] started singing [Em] my song,
[G] [C] you said so [G] many nights are [Am] waiting
Let's not [G] spend a moment [C] wasting time, [G] cause we have very [A] far to [Em] go
[D]
[C] I will [G] go if you will [Am] take me, I have [G] never had a [C] lover
I am [G] young, but I am [A] so [Em] alone
[D]
