Lyrics

A LIFETIME AGO (For Musical )

[Verse 1]
When we, were young
and days were long
Under the moon
we’d sing a song
We’d wander where the
four winds blow
But that was
a lifetime ago.

[Verse 2]
Around the fire
we had no fear
Of anything
far or near
Just dreamed and passed the
time you know
But that was
a lifetime ago

[Chorus]
We sang beside Lake Michigan
And danced like crazy Irishmen
And cried when we were feeling low
But that was
A lifetime ago

[Bridge]
But then there came a cruel wind
Shook our world, from deep within
Never more your light will glow
But that was
a lifetime ago

[Verse 3]
Years will pass and
time erase
The memory of
This happy place
And on the Lake a
warm wind blows
Like it did
a lifetime ago

[Chorus]
We sang beside Lake Michigan
And danced like crazy Irishmen
And cried when we were feeling low
But that was
A lifetime ago
Yes that was
a lifetime ago
