Long Ago And Far Away

Long Ago And Far Away

music by Jerome Kern (left)
lyric by Ira Gershwin (top)

Dreary days are over.
Life's a four-leaf clover.
Sessions of depressions are through---
Ev'ry hope I longed for long ago, comes true.

Long ago and far away, I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me.
Long the skies were overcast, but now the clouds have passed:
You're here at last!

Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine,
The dream I dreamed was not denied me.
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago, was you.
