Lyrics This Time Long Ago - The Guess Who

Aah, aah, aah, aah
Golden pennies on the breezes creepin'
Falling softly while the trees are sleepin'
Telling secrets to the earth below
Here's a secret that the trees don't know
Burning kisses in the early snow
This time long ago
There's a letter full of last year's teardrops
Silver shadows hide among the treetops
Hear the laughter from another day
See a face about a year away
Hear a voice that whispered "I can't stay"
This time long ago
What a time to stop and cry
Beauty all around but I
Can only see the fallen leaves
That bring heartbreaking memories that I
Should not remember
La la la la
Her gentle touch
La la la la
The way she smiled, it meant so much to me
Other loves might come and go
Stop a while and say "hello"
But the only love I'll ever know
Was this time long ago
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
