| Long, long before your time as performed by a singer during a session at CANTY'S BAR in Midleton, Ireland, a capella in G# You (G)ask me why I look so sad On (D7)this bright summer’s (G)day And why the tears are in my eyes And I (C)seem so far a(G)way Well, sit yourself beside me, love And (C)put your hand in (G)mine And I’ll tell of someone I knew Long, (D7)long before your (G)time Now I’m sitting here and thinking Of those days so long ago When I was just a child like you And a girl I used to know Through fields of green we laughed and played And sang our merry rhymes Oh, summer days were warmer then Long, long before your time *Through fields of green we laughed and played* Until our hearts were one We promised each eternal love In the church below the town We settled in this little house I was proud to call her mine Oh, we were young and happy then Long, long before your time One lovely year is all we had Until the sickness came And stole the roses from her cheeks My tears they fell in vain For nine long months she carried you But in the end she died She 'd chose to go so you might live Long, long before your time So you ask me why I look so sad On this bright summerday And why the tears are in my eyes And I seem so far away It’s just you seem a lot like her When your eyes look into mine Oh, that you smile so much like she did Long, long before your time Oh, that you smile so much like she did Long, long before your time * alternative version: Through childhood years our love did bloom  alles-uke.de |
