It Wasn'T So Long Ago

I shaped a heart outside her door
With the matches I'd procured
We had our season in the sun
Our romance when we were young
                                                                    
It wasn't so long ago
A new time may have grown
So many tears have flown
But it wasn't so long ago
                                                                    
A melody plays from time gone by
All the years between them fly
I'm back in her tender arms once again
Embracing in the summer rain
                                                                    
It wasn't so long ago
A new time may have grown
So many tears have flown
But it wasn't so long ago
                                                                    
Two lovers kissed on a summer morn
And a lifetime love was born
A love that makes a man a king
And a maid's heart start to sing
                                                                    
It wasn't so long ago
A new time may have grown
So many tears have flown
But it wasn't so long ago.
