LONG AGO//HALF A SIXPENCE

I was longing to tell you long ago

So long ago

But how could I tell you?

I was longing to say I loved you so

So long ago

But what could I say?

It was not for me

It was not for me

I made up my mind

If your love was blind

It was not to be

But now at last it's no longer long ago

For now I know

you're mine as you were mine long ago

We were far too shy

Much too scared to try

I made up my mind

If your love was blind

Better say good-bye

But now at last it's no longer long ago

For now I know you're mine completely mine

Now and always mine

Just as you were mine long ago
