Not Long Ago Lyrics

Not long ago we were mesmerized by the Ferris wheel

Learned to smoke, borrowed the car and returned the wheel

Running blind, there's no guide

Till we're grown

Strong enough to carry on

Through a life that's filled with song and pain

Each passing yields the next refrain

Now you're gone

Still the sadness lingers on

Twenty years have come and gone my friend

Will I see you again?

Scott told a joke but Shelby's eyes said "you've misunderstood"

Ben held my hand while Paul drove us all 'round the neighborhood

Where we played and we cried

In a daze that you died

Till we're grown

Strong enough to carry on

Through life that's filled with song and pain

Each passing yields the next refrain

Now you're gone

Still the sadness lingers on

Twenty years have come and gone my friend

Will I see you again?

I hear your voice across the sea

Wash over me

With a smile upon your face

So gracefully

Put your heart in my hand

You'll live again

Now you're gone

Still these memories carry on

I'll sing them in the song for you my friend

Until I see you again
