[Verse 1]
GThis day feels Clong
GIt feels brief Cwhen the light is gone
GWhen I look to my youth I never Cthought about the time
The Gthought of my day to come was the Clast thing upon my mind
[Chorus 1]
But that was a Amlong CTime ago
[Verse 2]
GMy adolescent Cway
GFeels like it was Conly yesterday
GLearning to cast my line Cright off the riverbed
GFeels like yesterday but it was a Clong time ago I said
[Chorus 2]
It was a Amlong Ctime ago
[Verse 3]
GWe had a blast we had a Cball
GI was told man Cthat I could have it all
GI was told to watch every little Cthing that I go and say
GTold a long long time ago but still Cgot it with me today
[Outro]
It was a Amlong Ctime ago
It was a Amlong Ctime ago
Long time Gago
