Lyrics below.
This is a new version. The first version had no drum or bass and sounded very classical - as in Beethoven and Mozart, not the Stones - with lots of oboe and flute.
This version still features the flute and definitely has drums and bass - it's as close as I get to a "power ballad". The old oboe lick is now played on my 12-string; and it still has that classical feel to it.
LYRICS:
Long ago, you loved me
Then I broke your heart
All these lonely years later
We're still apart
Every day, I've loved you
And I've wished you well
I hope you've had a good life
But mine's been living hell
I never could replace you
And God knows that I tried
But none of them could ever
Replace the love that died
Will I see you again?
Be on your mind again?
Will I see you again?
Ever hold you again?
I won't make excuses
I did wrong and I've paid
By living my life without you
I drove your love away
I was young and stupid
It took me years to learn
The way I should have loved you
But that bridge already burned
Each day, I imagine
What my life could have been
If you were still beside me
Instead of there with him
Will I see you again?
Be on your mind again?
Will I see you again?
Ever hold you again?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you, will I see you, will I see you again?
