A Song Long Ago

My life has been such a busy thing
With everyone telling me, what to do, to think, to, to feel
Suddenly I realize I no longer
Remember the song that I used to sing

For many years I've been practicing
Living my life without bringing life to it
Loving with my heart in an absent manner
All in all it made me forget the song
That I used to sing. (I used to sing)

What is real and what is not
What's important, what’s not?

I have lost a song (I have lost a song), that I used to sing
I have lost the love it used to bring
And suddenly my words (suddenly my words), don’t mean a thing
I have lost a song, I have lost a song I used to sing

The right words and the special sound, the magic string
I’ve been searching for it everywhere (everywhere)
I just can’t find it anywhere, it’s oh so silent, a song long ago

What is real and what is not
What's important, what’s not?

I have lost a song (I have lost a song), that I used to sing
I have lost the love it used to bring
And suddenly my words (suddenly my words), don’t mean a thing
I have lost a song, I have lost a song I used to sing
