Mariah Carey - Long Ago

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

 

 

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

Tonight I'm crumbling 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

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

 

 

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

 

 

Baby, I need you now

'Cause tonight I'm crumbling 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

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

 

 

Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me
