It's Been So Many Years

Ed Connors

Late one evening while sitting all alone
Staring at the glow of the fire
Listening to songs as the embers are waning
I couldn't get you out of my mind.

The days have gone by and the memories are fading
Traces of love are nearly gone
But I can't let you go while this heart of mine's still aching
That's why I sing to you in this song.

Chorus
It's been so many years yet it seems like yesterday
That we walked hand in hand by the stream
Talking if our future and feelings of our love
And a promise to share all our dreams.

I remember the evenings when we'd talk for hours
Of the future that we'd have together
Now that's all gone like the winter takes the flowers
And now here I sit all alone.

Chorus
