Far Away and Long Ago

IT SEEMS A MILLION MILES AWAY,
IT SEEMS A MILLION YEARS HAVE PASSED.

THE SNOW FALL SO GENTLE, THE AIR ICY COLD.
YOUR COMPANY SO SWEET, THE TIME FLEEING FAST.
WE PLANNED, YOU'RE GONE, AND NOW I'M OLD,
THE HAIR SO DARK, THE EYES SO DEEP...
THE LIPS SO FULL, HOW THE MEMORIES KEEP;
THAT LOVING TOUCH, THOSE KISSES SOFT,
I RECOLLECT, AND SMILE 'OFT.

IT SEEMS A MILLION MILES AWAY,
IT SEEMS A MILLION YEARS HAVE PASSED.

WE WERE ONCE YOUNG, WE WERE ONCE OLD,
THOUGH NOW I'M SETTLED, WE WERE ONCE BOLD.
WE SHARED ONE SOUL, YOU TOOK MY HEART...
THE "MONA LISA's" NO FINER ART!
A  PAINTED PICTURE, OR CARVED IN STONE,
IN PUREST BEAUTY, YOU STAND ALONE.

IT SEEMS A MILLION MILES AWAY,
IT SEEMS A MILLION YEARS HAVE PASSED.

THE SNOW FALLS HARDER, THE AIR IS COLDER,
NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE, NOW THAT I'M OLDER.
YOUR MEMORY LINGERS, AND I FEEL BETTER...
I KNOW NOT WHERE TO SEND THIS LETTER.

IT SEEMS A MILLION MILES AWAY,
IT SEEMS A MILLION YEARS HAVE PASSED.
