Long Gone - Tony Christie

The first time I met you

Your eyes shining brightly

I’ll never forget that glance and your smile

We sat on the floor

Talked five hours or more

When the sun rose at seven we kissed for a while

And it’s long gone that we shared our lives

And it’s long gone that I met you

Well it’s long gone that you said you love me

But now it’s time to forget you

That night was a mild one

The best day of summer

A bottle of wine and your head on my chest

A warm wind was blowing

When the sun started glowing

You told me you’re going and wished me the best

I couldn’t forget you

That night and our closeness

For me it just seemed

I’d known you for years

In a hundred miles distance

I felt your existance

So far from my home I knew you were here

And it’s long gone that we shared our lives

And it’s long gone that I met you

Well it’s long gone that you said you love me

But now it’s time to forget you

Time went by slowly

My mind was still covered

With thoughts about you and this wonderful day

Sometimes I came down

To your beautiful town

We met for a coffee, you asked me to stay

It took some more years

Till we got together

A long time not knowing and things kept on going

In the end we succeeded it was you that I needed

We found each other got finally near

And it’s long gone that we shared our lives

And it’s long gone that I met you

Well it’s long gone that you said you love me

But now it’s time to forget you

It’s all right, we went different ways

I don’t feel any sorrow

And it’s all right what happened those days

But I hope I won’t meet you tomorrow

It’s easy to think

That the heart of two ramblers

Would fit to each other like one and another

But living your dreams

So far as it seems

Is likely to hurt your lover’s esteem

And it’s long gone that we shared our lives

And it’s long gone that I met you

Well it’s long gone that you said you love me

But now it’s time to forget you

Now you’re far gone, I don’t know where you living

Surely I won’t await you

You’re far gone, not a damn I am giving

I loved you once but now I hate you
