Carole King - Song Of Long Ago 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
