Sam Cooke - Swing Low

Long, Long Ago

Tell me the tales that to me were so dear
(Long, long ago, oh long, long ago)
Hummm and sing me the songs I delighted to hear
(Long, long ago, oh, long ago)

Now you are come all my grieve is removed
Let me forget that so long you have roved
Let me believe that you love as you loved
(Long, long ago, oh, long ago)

Oh and now do you remember the path where we met (aha, oh yeah, aha, oh yeah)
(Long, long ago, oh long, long ago)
Oh yeah you told me you never would forget (aha, oh yeah, aha, oh yeah)
(Long, long ago, oh, long ago)

Hummm then to all others my smile you preferred (hummm)
Love when you spoke gave a charm to each word (hummm)
Still my heart treasures the praises I heard
(Long, long ago, oh, long ago)

Though by your kindness my fond hopes were raised (aha, oh yeah, aha, oh yeah)
(Long, long ago, oh long, long ago)
I know you've by more eloquent lips have been praised (aha, oh yeah, aha, oh yeah)
(Long, long ago, oh long, long ago)
Humm but by long absence your truth has been tried (hummm)
Still to your accents I listened with pride (hummm)
Blessed as I was when I set by your side
Long, long ago
Long ago
(aha, oh yeah, aha, oh yeah)
