[Mariah Carey - Long Ago lyrics]
Once upon a time you whispered
Softly in my ear loving words
And fairy tales that I longed to hear
I gave you my body and
Soul and you took control
As you slowly swept me up and carried me away
You told me pretty lies
As I held onto you tight
You knew how to get your way
Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace
Long ago you used to want me
Now it's all so far away
(now it's all so far, far)
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday
Every now and then I drown
In thoughts of yesterday
And the fool's paradise that you blew away
I feel you beside me again and remember when
You came to my window on
A dark and stormy day
Baby I need you now (I need you baby)
(Right now) tonight I'm crumbling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me
Long ago (long) you used to want me (you)
Now it's all so far away
(now it's all so far) but you still haunt me
(You still haunt me, you still haunt me
Yes you do baby)
Long ago (so long)
You used to want me (but you, you, you)
(You) now it's all so far away
(and now it's all so far, Far)
But you still haunt me (haunt me, haunt me)
And take me back to yesterday
So long ago, so long ago
So long ago, so long ago
So long ago, so long ago
So long ago, so long ago (And oh baby)
Baby I need you now (I need you now)
(I need you right now boy)
'Cause tonight I'm crumbling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me
Long ago (you you used to)
You used to want me
(You really used to want me baby baby baby)
Now it's all so far away
(And now it's all so far)
But you still haunt me (haunt me, haunt me)
And take me back to yesterday
Long ago (so long)
(So long ago, so long ago)
You used to want me (so long, so long)
(So long ago, so long ago)
Now it's all so far away
(tonight I'm crumbling down)
(So long ago, so long ago)
But you still haunt me
(you do you do you do you do)
(So long ago, so long ago)
(Once upon a time you came along) long ago
You used to want me
(And you whispered softly in my ear)
Now it's all so far away
(Loving words and all those fairytales)
But you still haunt me
(That I would long to hear)
Softly in my ear loving words
And fairy tales that I longed to hear
I gave you my body and
Soul and you took control
As you slowly swept me up and carried me away
You told me pretty lies
As I held onto you tight
You knew how to get your way
Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace
Long ago you used to want me
Now it's all so far away
(now it's all so far, far)
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday
Every now and then I drown
In thoughts of yesterday
And the fool's paradise that you blew away
I feel you beside me again and remember when
You came to my window on
A dark and stormy day
Baby I need you now (I need you baby)
(Right now) tonight I'm crumbling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me
Long ago (long) you used to want me (you)
Now it's all so far away
(now it's all so far) but you still haunt me
(You still haunt me, you still haunt me
Yes you do baby)
Long ago (so long)
You used to want me (but you, you, you)
(You) now it's all so far away
(and now it's all so far, Far)
But you still haunt me (haunt me, haunt me)
And take me back to yesterday
So long ago, so long ago
So long ago, so long ago
So long ago, so long ago
So long ago, so long ago (And oh baby)
Baby I need you now (I need you now)
(I need you right now boy)
'Cause tonight I'm crumbling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me
Long ago (you you used to)
You used to want me
(You really used to want me baby baby baby)
Now it's all so far away
(And now it's all so far)
But you still haunt me (haunt me, haunt me)
And take me back to yesterday
Long ago (so long)
(So long ago, so long ago)
You used to want me (so long, so long)
(So long ago, so long ago)
Now it's all so far away
(tonight I'm crumbling down)
(So long ago, so long ago)
But you still haunt me
(you do you do you do you do)
(So long ago, so long ago)
(Once upon a time you came along) long ago
You used to want me
(And you whispered softly in my ear)
Now it's all so far away
(Loving words and all those fairytales)
But you still haunt me
(That I would long to hear)
