Whispering wind came uninvited
  Looking for somewhere else to go
  Here is a lamp I've left unlighted
  Aren't you someone I should know?
  
  Memory's flame is soon ignited
  Lighting my lamp with amber glow
  Quietly friends are reunited
  Singing a song of long ago, la la la...
  
  Cry, cry for someone
  Who just can't be happy
  And be glad you can feel enough to cry
  
  Younger than always, time descended
  Bringing me brand new seeds to sow
  Now that they've been a long time planted
  What must I do to help them grow?
  
  If it had been as I intended
  I wouldn't have the peace I know
  Loving the people I've befriended
  Singin' a song of long ago, la la la...
  
  As it began, so I will end it
  Singing a song of long ago
  Loving the people I've befriended
  And singin' a song of long, long, long ago
