Long Time Ago
Lyrics by Dan Jacobsen
Hello old friend
So nice to see you
Smiling once again
These years have
Passed us by
Oh so fast
I can’t help but stop
And think of the good
Times had
 
A long time ago
We were invincible
What’s happened since then?
The dream we lived
Could only last
For a while
The sleepless nights
We used to spend together
Can only stand-alone
In our remembrance
 
And a long time ago
I cried when you left me
You said you’d come back
But I didn’t think it’s be
So far from then
What have you been
Up to lately?
How are you doing?
 
My dear sweet friend
We used to be so young
What’s happened?
The lines on our face
Have grown to mountains
And eyes have become like flowers
So warm and resilient and soft
 
So good it is to see you  alive and well
I thought that you’d left me
Forever with no farewell
 
Cuz a long time ago
I cried when you left me
You said you’d come back
But I didn’t think it’s be
So far from then
What have you been
Up to lately?
How are you doing?
 
There’s so much I want to ask you
It’ll take another lifetime to catch up
But we’ll make up
And it’s so good to see you again.
When I wrote this song, I used the perspective of Jesus, when a lost Christian comes back to Him. Jesus doesn't just say I've abandoned you because you've abandoned me. He grabs us and takes us back and you can feel the love and joy immediately.
