Seems So Long Ago lyrics

Sat in the park just the other day
Saw little children about their way
The innocence mirrored in a little face
Took me back far away
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/carl_wilson/seems_so_long_ago.html ]
Remembered when I was about that small
The park looked the same, but the trees seemed tall
Running and playing was my big concern
It took a while taking in it all
It took me back, far away
So long ago, to another time - another place

Seems so long ago -ah- long ago

I can see mom and dad and the house we had
Trees in the yard and how dad worked so hard
The good times we shared and how much they cared
Mom's great smile - how she wouldn't cry
All they did to make us grow
Love and strong - to not do wrong

Seems so long ago
