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
[Chorus:] Long ago You used to want me Now it’s all so far away 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 ‘Cause tonight I’m crumbling down Sinking in the memories Shadows of you keep washing over me
[Chorus 2x]
Baby I need you now ‘Cause tonight I’m crumbling down Sinking in the memories Shadows of you keep washing over me
