We put on our roller skates, skated round the block left our friends behind, we were so inclined we hung out on the sidewalk, closer to the park held hands after dark, held hands after dark I used to wait outside his house with my long hair and pink blouse we climbed trees and ran from bees hopped in cars and chocolate bars 'chorus' He was there, long ago and far away he was there, never had a need to stay he was there, never have forgotten him he was there, always holding sway in my heart Then he was gone and moved away how I loathed that fateful day letters were few and me withdrawn from my boyfriend, long since gone 'chorus' He was there, long ago and far away he was there, never had a need to stay he was there, never have forgotten him he was there, always holding sway in my heart
