Song Lyrics

Long ago on a Monday morning
She's already up and gone
Miles away without a warning
Never knowing for how long

I don't think that I will forget her
For her words were hard and cruel
She once called me a pretender
Even though my love was true

And if I still had the number
Would I hesitate to call?
Would she make me feel like cryin'?
Would she make me feel so small?

There's been too many years gone by
There's been too many years gone by

How could I forget that winter
It was 10 long years ago
Blinded by the love between us
Blinded by the fallin' snow

She was everything that I needed
She was everything to me
Then the summer came and it freed her
And brought me down upon my knees

And if I still had the number
And if I had the nerve to call
Would we laugh about that winter
Would we laugh about it all?

There's been too many years gone by
There's been too many years gone by

There's been too many years gone by and too many years tell lies
A heart is a lonely place, when a heart has its own mine
In mine there's an empty space, from a love that was left behind

There's been too many years gone by
There's been too many years gone by

And too many years tell lies
There's been too many years gone by
And too many years tell lies
There's been too many years gone by

Whoah, and too many years tell lies
