Song Lyrics
Whispering wind came, uninvited
Looking for somewhere else to go
Here is a lamp I`ve left unlighted
Aren`t you someone I should know
Memory`s flame is soon ignited
Lighting my lamp with amber glow
Quietly, friends are reunited
Singing a song of long ago, la, la, la
Cry, cry for someone
Who just can`t be happy
And be glad you can feel enough to cry
Younger than always, time descended
Bringing me brand new seeds to sow
Now that they`ve been a long time planted
What must I do to help them grow
If it had been as I intended
I wouldn`t have the peace I know
Loving the people I`ve befriended
And singing a song of long ago, la, la, la
As it began, so I will end it
Singing a song of long ago
Loving the people I`ve befriended
And singing a song of long, long, long ago
