Long Ago - Mariah Carey

Lyrics by：M. Carey/M. Seal

Composed by：Jermaine Dupri/M. Carey/M. Seal

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
