Lyrics

[00:08.000] Seems like such a long time ago,
[00:13.000] I was walking on a lonely road.
[00:17.000] Getting tired of dreaming alone,
[00:22.000] like all the lonely people I had known.
[00:26.000] Seems like such a long time ago,
[00:30.000] there was no one who would share my song.
[00:34.000] I was just a boy far from home,
[00:39.000] but I became a man when you came along.
[00:43.000] We spent the whole night talking.
[00:47.000] You said you'd like to see the sun rise.
[00:51.000] But in the gold of morning,
[00:55.000] was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes.
[01:04.000] I was so afraid to touch you,
[01:07.000] thought you were too young, you know.
[01:09.000] So I just watched you sleeping.
[01:13.000] Then you woke and said to me,
[01:15.000] The night is cold, it frightens me.
[01:17.000] I could sleep so easy next to you.
[01:23.000] Wasn't very long ago,
[01:27.000] you said that you would like to share my role.
[01:31.000] Then you started singing my song.
[01:35.000] Spent so many nights a-waiting,
[01:38.000] Lets not spend a moments wasting time,
[01:41.000] because we have very far to go.
[01:44.000] I will go if you will take me,
[01:45.000] I have never had a lover.
[01:48.000] I am young but I am so alone.
[01:54.000] We spent the whole night talking.
[02:03.000] But in the gold of morning...
