It happened so long ago,

That I remember it in black and white,

We tried to reach the stars,

We thought our love could reach the height.

It happened so long ago,

That the sky’s were painted green,

Grass was blue, clouds were black,

Upside down, with no way back.

It happened so long ago,

A time where love was grey,

A time we loved in red,

Maybe we should’ve used grey instead.

It happened so long ago,

That men could not cry,

And women shouldn’t have ask why.

Oh, what a tainted time!

It happened so long ago,

Some days I start to forget,

It’s the moments I recall,

Not the things I once regret.

It happened so long ago,

The time for you and I,

Fragile like a string,

Yes indeed, I saw the whole thing.
