Lyrics
Long time ago,
It was a long time ago
You loved me
But I wasn't a man
Well I was only a child
Not very tall
Not very bright
Nothing like you
I didn't see the light
Yeah, didn't see the light
A woman was in my arms
How I miss you
A woman with lots of charms
But I was stupid
Long time ago
It was a long time ago
You loved me
But I wasn't a man
If I could change back the time
Do it all again
I would do all the things
That I should have done then
If I could turn back the time
Do it all again
I would do all the things
That I should have done then
(I loved you so much, I used to cry myself to sleep every night
You really broke my heart.... I don't know, I don't know)
Long time ago
It was a long time ago
You loved me
But I wasn't a man
Well I was only a child
Not very tall
Not very bright
Nothing like you
I didn't see the light (C'mon don't cry)
Yeah, didn't see the light (It's OK, don't cry)
Didn't see the light (C'mon don't cry)
Yeah, I didn't see the light
Woman in my arms
How I miss you
A woman of my dreams
I was stupid
Woman in my arms
Now I miss you
A woman of my dreams
But I was stupid
Change back the time
And do it all again
I would do all the things
That I should have done then
If I could turn back the time
And do it all again
I would do all the things
That I should have done then
