lyrics

We did it all together
We took the world by storm
We climbed the highest mountains
Swam to shore

We were so young together
so wild and so carefree
nothing could ever stop us we believed
People around would ask us
What secret do they need
The sunny days would never go away
You'd look at me and wonder
How great our lives could be
The years would pass us by eternally

That was a long time ago
That was a long time ago
That was a long time ago
That was a long time ago

Now things are often crazy
and not in a good way
You would come back to me
but never stay
Where is the life we both shared?
How fast it's thrown away
Oh darling somethings changing
your not the same

Nothing was ever greater
than you inside my arms
But now these bonds are broken
You were strong
We run in different circles
You're so much better now
I'm stuck inside my memories
feeling down
I call you in the evening
And hope to hear your voice
But you were always busy
running around
Your younger newer lovers
Who take you out at night
Seem like they care about you
What a lie

That was a long time
That was a long time
That was a long time
That was a long time

I miss you and won't forget
The love we used to share
I hope to see you someday
Standing here
I would never mistreat you
I'd always hold your hand
We'd travel off together
In a dream
