Sing me the songs that to me were so dear
Long long ago, long ago
Tell me the tales I delighted to hear
Long long ago, long ago
Out of the past on the winds of the years
Sung by a voice that could still all my fears
Softened by laughter and gentled by tears
Long long ago, long ago
Sing me the songs that were mine at the start
Long long ago, long ago
Tell me the tales that were dear to my heart
Long long ago, long ago
Now I shall share with a child at my breast
All of those songs that once put me to rest
Safe in the arms of the one I loved best
Long long ago, long ago
Long long ago, long ago
Long long ago, long ago
Tell me the tales I delighted to hear
Long long ago, long ago
Out of the past on the winds of the years
Sung by a voice that could still all my fears
Softened by laughter and gentled by tears
Long long ago, long ago
Sing me the songs that were mine at the start
Long long ago, long ago
Tell me the tales that were dear to my heart
Long long ago, long ago
Now I shall share with a child at my breast
All of those songs that once put me to rest
Safe in the arms of the one I loved best
Long long ago, long ago
Long long ago, long ago
