Seems like such a long time ago
I was walking on a lonely road
Getting tired of dreaming alone
Like all the lonely people I had known

Seems like such a long time ago
There was no one who would share my song
I was just a girl far from home
But I became a woman when you came along

We spent the whole night talking
You said you'd like to see the sun rise
But in the gold of morning
T'was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes

You were so afraid to touch me
Thought I was too young to know
So I just watched you sleeping
Then you woke and said to me
"The night is cold it frightens me
And I could sleep so easy next to you"

Wasn't very long ago
You said that you would like to share my road
Then you started singing my song
Sat so many nights a-waiting
Let's not spend a moment's wasting time
'Cause we have very far to go
I will go if you will take me
I have never had a lover
I am young but I am so alone
We spent the whole night talking
But in the gold of morning
