Do you remember the past where we met 
Long, long ago, long, long ago 
Ah yes, you told me you'd never forget 
Long, long ago, long ago 
Then, to all others, my smile you preferred 
Love, when you spoke, gave a charm to each word 
Still my heart treasures the praises I heard 
Long, long ago, long ago
