Long, Long Ago

Buck Owens · It Takes People Like You to Make People Like Me [S [1968]

Since you and I parted in silence and tears

So broken hearted we've suffered for years

Your cheek was pale and your hand was so cold

I remember you saying as you turned to go.



That I'd cry in my sleep and your name I would call

Your face I would see every night on my wall

That I'd waken in the morning in tears to recall

You're tellin' me darling so long, long ago.



--- Instrumental ---



If we should meet after long, lonely years

If I should greet you with silence and tears

But if I'd reach to touch you, oh, so you will know

I remember you're tellin' me long, long ago.



That I'd cry in my sleep and your name I would call

Your face I would see every night on my wall

That I'd waken in the morning in tears to recall

You're tellin' me darling so long, long ago.



I remember you darling from long, long ago...
