Lyrics
Not So Long Ago Verse 1 Not so long ago I held you close to me Not so long ago you were the world for me Not so long ago but oh, so far away Verse 2 Not so long ago you'd reach for my embrace Not so long ago I'd kiss your laughing face Not so long ago but oh, as I think of you today... Bridge/Chorus ...The tears come flooding to my eyes Though I had the time to realise You couldn't stay forever at our(/my) side I was not prepared To lose the love we shared And still I can't believe it's been denied Solo Verse 3 Not so long ago you smiled so tenderly Although it hurt you so, you tried to comfort me The love you gave me showed a hope that will live eternally Bridge/Chorus 2 And now I know though our loving wasn't long It still remains deep within me, like a song I'm so glad for the day that you were born And I will not regret Though I cannot forget I will sing your song forever though you're gone I will not regret Though I cannot forget I will sing your song forever, sing your song forever, sing your song forever... Though you're gone
