Long Ago and Far a Way
The Gero-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you
Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you
Just one look and then I knew
(Him, with her humming along)
That all I longed for long ago
Was you

Long ago and far away
A long time ago, in a distant place
I dreamed a dream one day
A dream that came to me one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Now that dream has come true and is with me
Long the skies were overcast
For a long time, the skies were cloudy and dark
But now the clouds have passed
But now those clouds are gone
You're here at last
You have finally arrived
Chills run up and down my spine
I feel a thrill, an excitement
Aladdin's lamp is mine
I have found something magical
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
The dream that I had was not kept from me
Just one look and then I knew
With just one glance, I understood
That all I longed for long ago was you
What I had wanted so badly from long ago was you
