Carole King
Song of Long Ago
[Verse 1]
Whispering wind came, uninvited
Looking for somewhere else to go
Here is a lamp I've left unlighted
Aren't you someone I should know?
Memory's flame is soon ignited
Lighting my lamp with amber glow
Quietly, friends are reunited
Singing a song of long ago

[Chorus]
La la la, la da doh da
La da la, la la la
La da da da
Da da da la la da da da da
Doh la da la da

[Bridge]
Cry, cry for someone
Who just can't be happy
And be glad you can feel enough to cry

[Verse 2]
Younger than always, time descended
Bringing me brand new seeds to sow
Now that they've been a long time planted
What must I do to help them grow?
If it had been as I intended
I wouldn't have the peace I know
Loving the people I've befriended
And singing a song of long ago
[Chorus]
La la la, la da doh da
La da la, la la la
Da da da da
La da da da la doh da la

[Outro]
As it began, so I will end it
Singing a song of long ago
Loving the people I've befriended
And singing a song of long, long, long ago
