It's a bit of a tear jerker isn't it?
"Flowers growing big and tall, grapes is clinging to the wall
this once belonged to me, the lush green grass and the willow trees
but that was long ago, long ago
long ago, yeah yeah yeah
that was long ago, long ago
long ago, yeah yeah yeah
little boy come out and play, I want to see you
you'll be six on your next birthday
you look like your daddy now, funny
but I always thought you would look like me somehow
seems i made a bad mistake on my wedding day
I couldn't stand the strife of married life
so I had you baby, and then I went away
if I knew then what I know now, baby
I could have seen it through for you somehow, yes I've could
you're everything in life that is really good,
and I would like to hold you baby if I only could
(she made a big mistake)
your new mama is calling you, lunchtime is mere and playtime is through
now I watched you walk through that door, then I ain't never coming back no more
no I lost you long ago, long ago, long ago, yes I lost you
long ago, long ago, long ago yeah yeah yeah yeah
(she made a big mistake)
baby I lost you, baby I lost you, ooh lost you so long ago,
yes I did, one day when you are big I hope you'll understand
mama really misses you, mama misses kissing you but I lost you
yeah I lost you, ooh so long ago, I've lost you so so so long ago, long ago
yes I did I said I lost you, there can be no looking back now"
