Long Ago

Verse 1

Tonight the chandeliers are burning low

And every curtain folds the light away

I trace your name across the marble floor

The way I did on that forgotten day

Pre-Chorus

But I still hear your voice

Through the echoes of the hall

Chorus

Long ago

We wrote our names in candlelight

Long ago

We swore we'd never say goodbye

But the seasons turned the page

And the stage lights all went gray

Long ago

I loved you anyway

Verse 2

The violins have all gone home by now

And empty rows are staring back at me

I hold the program to my aching chest

A souvenir of all we used to be

Pre-Chorus

And if I close my eyes

I can almost see you there

Chorus

Long ago

We wrote our names in candlelight

Long ago

We swore we'd never say goodbye

But the seasons turned the page

And the stage lights all went gray

Long ago

I loved you anyway

Bridge

(Oh-oh-oh) hold the final note

(Oh-oh-oh) whisper while you go

(Oh-oh-oh) let the curtain fall

On the quietest love of all

Chorus

Long ago

We wrote our names in candlelight

Long ago

We swore we'd never say goodbye

But the seasons turned the page

And the stage lights all went gray

Long ago

I loved you anyway
