Song of Long Ago

(Johnny Mercer - Hoagy Carmichael)



A lullaby can make me cry like the song of long ago

I still can see another me and the girl I used to know

I should forget but I won't let little mem'ries overflow

And through the tears in misty years like the stardust as I go.



I think of when she loved me then and of how she told me so

The words unsung when we were young like the song of long ago

But where's the end there is no end to the timeless after glow

A sweet regret always get from the song of long ago...
