It Wasn't So Long Ago

It Wasn't So Long Ago
                                                                   
I shaped a heart outside her door
With the matches I'd procured
We had our season in the sun
Our romance when we were young
                                                                   
It wasn't so long ago
A new time may have grown
And so many tears have flown
But it wasn't so long ago
                                                                   
A melody plays from time gone by
All the years between them fly
I'm back in her tender arms once again
Embracing in the summer rain
                                                                   
It wasn't so long ago
A new time may have grown
And so many tears have flown
But it wasn't so long ago
                                                                   
Time rushes by like a hurricane
And leaves so much chaos in its wake
Run to the one you love tonight
Say something tender
Find it in your heart
Don't wait too long
                                                                   
Two lovers kissed on a summer morn
And a lifetime love was born
A love that makes a man a king
And a maid's heart start to sing
                                                                   
It wasn't so long ago
A new time may have grown
And so many tears have flown
But it wasn't so long ago.
